Exterior 1200 Image Projector user manual
7.2 DMX controller operation
DANGER! Read "
Safety information"
on page 4 before operating the Exterior 1200
Image Projector.
The Exterior 1200 Image Projector may be operated with any lighting controller that is
compatible with the USITT DMX 512 (1990) or USITT DMX 512A standards.
See Refer to "
3.3: Installing a data link"
on page 24 for connection requirements and the
"
9.4: DMX protocol"
on page 84 for an overview of DMX control channels and values.
If an Exterior 1200 Image Projector is connected to a DMX controller and receives DMX
signals during stand-alone show playback, the stand-alone show will stop running and the
luminaire will respond to the DMX controller. DMX signals always have priority over the
running of a stand-alone show.

The effects reset to their “home” position when the Exterior 1200 Image Projector is
powered on. The Exterior 1200 Image Projector can also be reset from the DMX controller
on channel 1. To limit the possibility of accidentally resetting the luminaire in the middle of
a light show, you can set up the luminaire so that the reset command only works if the
CMY channels are all set to a DMX value from 230 to 232 (see "
7.1.3: DMX Reset option"
on page 53).

Lamp on
If Automatic Lamp On is set to ON (this is the default setting – see "
5.1: Luminaire
settings"
on page 34), the lamp strikes automatically when power is applied to the
luminaire. If set to OFF, a “lamp on” command must be sent from the controller on DMX
channel 1.
A large peak of electric current is drawn for a fraction of a second when striking a
discharge lamp. Striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large enough to
prevent lamps from striking and/or trip circuit breakers. When striking multiple lamps,
program a sequence that strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals. If Automatic
Lamp On is enabled, there is a delay of up to 90 seconds after power is applied before the
lamp strikes. This delay is determined by the luminaire’s DMX address.
Lamp off
The lamp can be turned off from the controller by sending a “lamp off” command on
channel 1. If the DMX Lamp Off personality is OFF (see "
7.1.2: DMX Lamp Off option"
on
page 52), the command only works if each of the CMY channels (3, 4, and 5) is set to a
DMX value from 230 to 232.
After being turned off, the lamp must cool for at least 8 minutes before it can be turned
back on. “Lamp on” commands sent within 8 minutes of a “lamp off” command are stored
and then executed after 8 minutes have elapsed.
