6. Controller mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data link and connected to the controller.The fixtures respond to
the DMX signal from the controller.
6.1 DMX addressing
The control panel on the front panel of the fixture allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined
as the first channel from which the ClubWash 500 CT will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 14, the ClubWash 500 CT will use the channel 14 to 26 for
control (if 16-bit mode is selected).
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each ClubWash 500 CT cor
-
rectly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more ClubWash 500 CT are addressed the same, the will work parallely.
For address setting, please refer to the instructions under "Addressing"(menu "
A001"
).
Controlling:
After having addressed all ClubWash 500 CT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the ClubWash 500 CT will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received
or not.If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash
"A001"
with actually set ad-
dress.
This situation could occur if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the ClubWash
500 CT
- the controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swaped
in the input connector.
Note:
It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) to the last fixture in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
6.2 Remotely controllable functions
Lamp
The ClubWash 500 CT is to be operated with a Philips MSR 575/2 (or Osram HSR 575/2) lamp.
A relay inside of the ClubWash 500 CT allows you to switch on and off the lamp via the control panel or via
your DMX-controller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
To switch On/Off the lamp, please refer to "Switching On/Off the lamp" (menu
LAMP
).
Note:
It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to
be cold before re-striking. For this reason, you have to wait 5 minutes (max. speed of fan must be adjusted)
after having switched Off the lamp before you can switch it back On again. If you try to switch On the lamp
within 5 minutes after having switched it Off, the ClubWash 500 CT will store this information and automati-
cally ignites the lamp when the 5 minutes period has expired. The message
"HEAt"
will appear on the control
panel display of the ClubWash 500 CT. If the ignition of the lamp is seven times unsuccessful, on the display
will appear
"LA.Er"
, meaning that the lamp could be damaged or even missed, or there could be a failure on
the ignitor or ballast.
CMY colour mixing system
The CMY color mixing system is based on graduated cyan, magenta, and yellow colour filters. A continuous
range of colors may be achieved by varying the amount of each filter from 0 to 100%.
Dimmer/Shutter/Strobe
Smooth 0 - 00 % dimming is provided by the combined mechanical dimmer/shutter unit. This unit may also
be used for strobe effect.
