DMX Modes
When operating the machine using DMX, there are 4 different modes that can be used.
Mode 0:
This mode operates the machine using one DMX channel ONLY, the flow level DMX channel, set
using option 5 in the menu. The rest of the DMX channels are ignored/disabled.
Once a value larger than 0 is set, operation is started. The power output (Freezefog) is energized
for the set predelay time, and once the predelay time has elapsed, the machine will output smoke
at a level set on the channel, anything from 1-100%. To turn off operation, set the DMX value to 0.
NOTE: This mode is required whenever the wired timer remote is used.
Mode 1:
This mode operates the machine using one DMX channel ONLY. It uses the Smoke On/Off DMX
channel, see menu item 6. It uses this channel purely as an on/off switch, and utilises all the pre-
programmed timing settings and flow level set on the machine.
Mode 2:
This mode operates the machine using two DMX channels. It utilises the Flow Level DMX channel
(menu item 5) to set the flow level, and the Smoke On/Off DMX channel (menu item 6) to
start/stop operation. For Freezefog operation, it utilises the programmed predelay timing
setting. This is the only timing value that is used.
Mode 3:
In this mode the machine uses all three DMX channels, for fully manual operation. It uses the
Flow Level DMX channel (menu item 5) to set the smoke output level, the Smoke On/Off DMX
channel (menu item 6) to turn on/off smoke output, and the PreDelay DMX Channel (menu item
7) to activate the Freezefog power output. Each channel is independent of each other and any
timing values.
