Operation
Exterior 400 Image Projector fixtures can be operated using a DMX controller or programmed to run a
stand-alone light show that does not require DMX control.
If a fixture has been set up to run stand-alone operation, it will follow its program according to its
programmed times as soon as powered is applied, unless it receives DMX commands. DMX commands
sent to a fixture override its stand-alone program.
Ambient temperatures
The Exterior 400 Image Projector can be operated at ambient temperatures from -30° C (-22° F) minimum
to 45° C (113° F) maximum.
Important! If the ambient temperature falls – or is forecast to fall – below 0° C (32° F), leave the
Exterior 400 Image Projector permanently powered on, even if LEDs are dimmed to zero. This will
provide heat and help protect circuits and components from the effects of low temperature. Starting
a fixture that is below 0° C (32° F) may cause damage to moving parts that is not covered by the
product warranty.
DMX control
The industry-standard DMX system allows remote control of the Exterior 400 Image Projector over the DMX
data link using a DMX controller or a PC running DMX controller software. such as the Martin M-PC™
application. If Luminaires have been set up with individual DMX addresses, they can be controlled
individually.
The section “DMX protocol” on page 34 gives details of the control options available using DMX.
Stand-alone operation
In stand-alone operation, the fixture displays effects that change at variable intervals and speeds, either as
soon as power is applied or for one or two periods during a 24-hour period. All parameters are
programmable. The term
stand-alone
means that the Exterior 400 Image Projector is not connected to a
control device, but is pre-programmed with a sequence of up to 100 scenes that play continuously in a loop.
