4.4 CONTROLLING THE ZONES
The zones can be controlled by either selecting a single zone, or multiple zones if more than one zone is needed to be
controlled together. To select a single zone, simply press the required zone number on the remote. To select multiple
zones, double click the required zone numbers on the remote one after the other.
The remote can then be used as described in
Chapter 3
to control the colour/intensity of the lights within the selected
zone(s).
4.5 CONTROLLING THIRD-PARTY DMX DEVICES
The controller can also be used to control third party DMX RGBW or dual colour devices. These devices will typically
have their own DMX driver. For setting the DMX address of the unit(s), refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
4.6 CONNECTING THIRD-PARTY DMX DEVICES
To control a third-party DMX device, this will have to be connected to the DMX network.
For X-Series installs it is recommended to connect the unit to the end of the DMX chain. Connect the device(s) to
output of the last DMX junction box in the DMX chain. Ensure that the terminator in the DMX junction box is OFF, and
that there is a DMX terminator added to the last device added in the chain.
For the Explore and Pro-Series, it is recommended to connect the third-party device(s) at the start of the DMX chain
–
this prevents the need to purchase extra connectors to connect to the last light in the chain. Connect the first third-party
device to the output of the DMX receiver, and then the DMX out of the last third-party device to the DMX in of the first
light. Ensure that there is a DMX terminator fitted to the last light/driver in the chain.
Note it is important to keep to the DMX specifications
– of a maximum of 32 devices to be connected in one chain, and
the total network chain length to be less than 300m. If more than 32 devices need to be connected, then DMX splitters
should be added to the system.
