ONTROL
The MDG
Me2
can be controlled via a DMX512-A USITT standard protocol.
WARNING
Activating the
«DMX» mode («INTERFACE

MODE

DMX»)
, controls the MDG
Me2 only by DMX signal. If the DMX wire is unplugged or DMX signal is lost , the
generator initiates an automatic shutdown procedure .
Activating the
«AUTO» mode («INTERFACE

MODE

AUTO») , controls MDG
Me2 by DMX, only if there is a signal. If the DMX wire is unplugged or DMX signal
is lost , the generator keeps the last DMX values .
WARNING
In « AUTO Mode » , DMX commands always take precedence over Local commands.
The MDG
Me2
provides a simple way to check if there is DMX signal:
The user can change the DMX Start Address in the Interface Menu («
DMX Add
»), and choose any
value between 1 and 510 (512, last DMX channel).
The generator uses three (3) DMX channels:

Channel 1 0 (0%)

UNIT OFF

128 (50%)

UNIT ON

255 (100%)

Channel 2
0 (0%) – 255 (100%)
, FOG OUTPUT (from minimum to maximum)

Channel 3 0 (0%)

FOG OFF

128 (50%)

FOG ON

255 (100%)
These channels have the same behaviour that the menus of the local interface (see Operating
instructions paragraph).
