Operation
Exterior 400 Range fixtures can be operated using a DMX controller or programmed to run a stand-alone
light show without DMX control.
Ambient temperatures
The Exterior 400 Range can be operated at ambient temperatures from -30° C (-22° F) to 45° C (113° F).
At temperatures below 0° C (32° F), leave the fixture permanently powered on, even if LEDs are dimmed to
zero because light output is not required. The standby power will provide a little heat and help protect
circuits and components from the effects of low temperature.
DMX control
In DMX-controlled operation, the options available to a DMX controller depend on which DMX mode the
fixture is set to (see “DMX Mode” on page 19).
The section “DMX protocols” on page 31 gives details of all the modes available in all the fixtures in the
Exterior 400 Range and which DMX channels are used to control color, color temperature and intensity in
the different modes.
Stand-alone operation
In stand-alone operation, the fixture executes color changes at set intervals and speeds, at pre-defined
periods during the day, and/or when the light level falls below a defined level. The term
stand-alone
means
that the Exterior 400 Range is not connected to a control device, but is pre-programmed with a sequence of
up to 20 scenes that play continuously in a loop.
Configuring stand-alone settings
First, the fixture needs to be configured to know if and when to activate a stand-alone program. Connect a
PC running the MUM application as described in "
on page 17, and click on the
Stand-alone settings
button (see Figure 17).
