DMX MODE
In a DMX 512 linking there are 512 channels available.
Each DMX fixture uses one or more channels to manage its functions. The user must
assign a starting address to each DMX fixture. This address will indicate the first
channel used on the controller. You have to plan the starting address choice in order
to avoid channels’ overlapping. Otherwise the fixture wouldn’t work correctly.
Example: If you need to connect 3 DMX fixtures, each with 10 channels, the first unit
is to be set on address 1, the second unit on address 11 and the third one on address
21. Anyway you can set the same starting address on more devices if you wish them
to operate in synchrony. DMX devices are conceived to receive datas through a
serial Daisy Chain connection. With this kind of linking the datas output of a fixture is
connected to the data input of the following one. The order of linking of the devices is
not important and it doesn’t affect on how the controller manages each of them. We
suggest to put them in the easiest and most direct sequence for cable connection.
The cable length should not be more than 100mts to avoid interferences with other
signals or electric devices. A terminator is often requires at the end of a DMX system.
Please address to a technician or to your reseller for further information.
When you arrange the connections make sure that the fixtures and the cables use
the polarities indicated in the chart below.
To enter in DMX mode, press the Menu(A) key until the indication “d001” (4
channels) or “A001” (8 channels) appears on the display. Select then the wished
address through the keys UP/DOWN(B-C). For the function related to each DMX
channel, refer to the chart on page 10.
