DMX Addressing
•
OceanLED Explore E6/E7 TH lights use DMX-512 standard for communication.
•
As default the base address of the lights is set to DMX address 1.
The default base address of the lights can be changed if required. This can either be done using a third party
RDM (Remote Device Management) controller, or by using the OceanLED Explore Configuration Tool.
•
Dual colour lights use two DMX addresses, the first for the Blue channel, the second for the White channel.
•
Colours lights use four DMX channels
– the first for the Red channel, second for the Green Channel, third for
the Blue channel, and the fourth for the White channel.
The DMX standard recommends a maximum of 32 devices to be connected in one chain, and a maximum
network length of 300m. If installation requires more lights than this, or a longer network length then please
contact OceanLED for advice.
--- Third Party RDM controller ---
Third Party RDM (Remote Device Management) software/ controller permits a controlling device to discover and then
configure, monitor, and manage lighting devices connected through a DMX512 network.
To use a 3rd Party RDM Controller, the Explore Control Input Cable and Terminator Kit is required (this is the
same kit as used for 3rd Party DMX Control). Please contact your OceanLED representative for more
information.
Additional items required not supplied by OceanLED:

--- OceanLED Explore Configuration Tool ---
The Explore Configuration Tool is a USB interface to allow remote configuration of the Explore E6 & E7 lights using a
Windows PC. It allows the setting of base DMX address, change of operating modes and readback of stored
parameters.
Communication with the lights is achieved using the Remote Device Management (RDM) protocol over the existing
DMX network.
