DMX protocol :
Channel 1 = 0-5 Stop, 6-255 Fog Intensity Level
Channel 2 = 0-5 Stop, 6-255 Fan Speed
Use in DMX mode:
This mode allows you to control your device with a DMX controller.
You must first "address" each device from 1 to 512.
Press MENU until you see "Addr" then A001, press ENTER, then with the DOWN
and UP keys, select the desired DMX address. Press ENTER to validate this value
DMX 512 Connection
The DMX 512 is widely used in intelligent lightings and with a maximum of 512 channels.
1.
If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin adapter-cable.
2.
At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 ohm 1/4W
resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the
DMX-output of the last unit.
3.
Connect the unit together in a ‘daisy chain’ by XLR plug from the output of the unit to the
input of the next unit. The cable cannot be branched or split to a ‘Y’ cable. DMX512 is a very
high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, solder joints or corroded connectors can
easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
4.
Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller. The
address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
