Setting control protocol and address
One of the operating modes shown below must be selected. Factors to consider when selecting a mode will depend on your
controller and are discussed in the next section. Maximum flexibility is provided in mode 4.
Each fixture must be assigned its own channels to receive instructions from the controller. The address, also known as the start
channel, is the first channel used. Addresses are independent of the physical link: they may be set in any convenient order.
Two MAC 600/E’s may share the same address; however, they will receive the same instructions and independent control will
not be possible.

You may push
[MENU]
and
[ENTER]
simultaneously to disable pan and tilt reset. This is handy if you want to
change settings while the MAC 600/E is in a flight case. As the fixture does not run through the entire reset
procedure, error messages will be displayed. This is not a fault with the fixture. The reset procedure can take
2 - 3 minutes.
