Exterior 1200 Image Projector user manual
7.1 Preparing for DMX control
DANGER! Read "
Safety information"
on page 4 before programming or operating
the Exterior 1200 Image Projector.
To control a luminaire via DMX, it must be set up to respond to commands from the
controller on specific DMX channels. This chapter describes how to set this up. It also
describes DMX lamp off and DMX reset settings that you may wish to alter.
You can use either a PC with the Martin MUM (Multi-Utility Manager) application or the
onboard control panel to prepare your Exterior 1200 Image Projector. MUM is probably
easier to use because of its graphic user interface.
Follow the instructions in "
5.1: Luminaire settings"
on page 34 to choose and connect a
setting device, and then refer to this chapter for information about specific settings.

If individual control of each Exterior 1200 Image Projector is required, each luminaire must
be set up to receive instructions from the DMX controller on a group of DMX channels that
are not used by any other device in its DMX universe. The DMX address, also known as
the control address or start channel, is the first of these channels. Each luminaire uses
this channel and the channels immediately above it to receive instructions.
Exterior 1200 Image Projector luminaires use 17 DMX channels, i.e. the start channel plus
the next 16 channels. If the control address is set to 1, the luminaire uses channels 1 - 17.
Channel 18 is available as the DMX address for the next luminaire.
If two or more luminaires are set up with the same address, they will receive the same
instructions and behave identically. Setting up identical luminaires with the same address
is a good tool for troubleshooting unexpected behavior and an easy way to achieve
synchronized action.
DMX addressing with MUM
To set a DMX address using the MUM application, use the
DMX Address
spin button in
the in the
Fixture Settings
window. The luminaire’s DMX address is updated in real time.
MUM can only set the DMX address on one luminaire at a time, and must be connected to
one luminaire only via the data link or service port.
DMX addressing with the onboard control panel
To set a DMX address using the onboard control panel, enter the
F i x t ur e ad d r e ss
menu and enter the required value.

When the DMX Lamp Off feature is ON (the default setting), lamp power can be turned off
from the controller by setting channel 1 to a DMX value from 248 to 255 (97-100%). When
set to OFF, the Lamp Off command executes only if channels 4, 5 and 6 are set to values
from 230 to 232. Bear in mind that if you turn a lamp off, you must allow it to cool for eight
minutes before you can restrike it.
