DMX controlled operation
The Cyclo 03 Directional may be programmed and operated with any
lighting control device that is compatible with the USITT DMX standard.
See also “ DMX protocol ” on page 30.
Connecting a DMX control device
Connect a data cable to the DMX control device’s data output and one of the
Cyclo 03 Directional’s RJ-45 DMX sockets. If your control device has an
XLR data output socket, you may need to buy or wire an XLR-to-RJ45
converter. For details of wiring and polarity, see “
Data linking multiple
luminaires ” on page 12.
Setting a luminaire to DMX
operation
DMX operation is enabled by setting pin 10 on the DIP switch to OFF. Pins
1 - 9 are then used to set the luminaire’s control address.
Setting a DMX control address
The Cyclo 03 Directional uses 3 DMX control channels. The DMX address,
also known as the start channel, is the first of these channels. It must be set
on the luminaire and selected on the DMX controller before the controller
can send commands to the luminaire via a DMX link.
The Cyclo 03 Directional responds to commands sent to the DMX address
and the next two channels. If the DMX address is set to 100, the Cyclo 03
Directional uses channels 100, 101 and102.
Allow enough channels when setting the DMX address. If control channels
for one luminaire overlap control channels for another luminaire, one of the
luminaires will receive the wrong commands.
If two or more Cyclo 03 Directionals share the same DMX address, they will
receive the same commands and respond identically. Individual control will
be impossible.
