DMX ADDRESSING
In order to start controlling the product via DMX, the first step is to select a DMX address, also known
as the start channel, this is the first channel used to receive instructions from a DMX controller. If you
wish to control the product individually, it is necessary to assign a different starting address channel to
each fixture.
The number of channels occupied from the product depends on the DMX mode selected, so always
verify the DMX Mode in the MENU before start addressing.
If you assign two fixtures the same address, they will be executing the same behaviour. Selecting the
same address to multiple fixtures can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetrical control.
DMX addressing is limited to make it impossible to set the DMX address so high that you are left with-
out enough control channels for the product.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. Press ENTER to open the main menu.
2.
Reach the addressing menu, then select the DMX ADDRESS settings.
3.
Select the address from 1 to 512 using the navigation arrows/buttons and confirm by pressing
ENTER.
4.
Press Menu to exit and return to the Home screen.
