Overvi ew
DMX is a digital control system widely used in entertainment and architectural
lighting. Any controller meeting the DMX-512 standard may be used to control
and program the haze output of the Magnum 2500HZ.
The Magnum 2500HZ requires the optional DMX control module to allow DMX
operation.
Connecti on
The Magnum 2500HZ provides a 3-pin XLR plug and socket on the rear panel
for DMX connection. The wiring is shown below.

DMX functions
The Magnum 2500HZ operates from a single DMX channel which gives
proportional control of haze density from 0-100%.

Haze at variable density, (30=minimum, 255=maximum)
When the machine is receiving valid DMX data, the indicator light next to the
address switches will light.
It is possible to control the machine by DMX and using the remote control at the
same time, the highest setting will take precedence.
No provision is made for resetting the fluid out condition via the DMX system.
Reset this using the remote or by powering down the machine to perform a full
reset.
Note that the last switch (switch 10) on the DMX address setting dipswitch is
used for the test function not address 512. Setting this switch to ‘on’ will
produce a timer (10 second) burst of smoke allowing the machine to be tested
without the remote control being present.
