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
There are 512 available channels on DMX link.Every fixture on DMX link must have a DMX start address, which is
defined as the first channel from which the fixture will respond to the controller.
If you set ,for example, for the ColorSpot 575E AT the start address to channel 28, the ColorSpot 575E AT will use
the channels from 28 to 54 for control (if Mode 1 is selected from "DMX Preseting" menu).
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each ColorSpot 575E AT correctly
and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more ColorSpot 575E AT are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all ColorSpot 575E AT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the ColorSpot 575E AT 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 with actually address.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3(or 5) pin XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from the controller) is not connected with the input of the
ColorSpot 575E AT
- the controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the
input connector.
6.2 Remotely controllable functions
Lamp
The ColorSpot 575E AT is to be operated with a Philips MSR 575W/2 lamp.
A relay inside of the ColorSpot 575E AT 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.
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 at least 5 minutes 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 ColorSpot 575E AT will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period
has expired.
