Fixture setup
This section explains the fixture settings and utilities that the user has access
to via the control panel.
A complete map of the control menu structure can be found in ‘Control menus’
on page 30.
Settings are retained when the fixture is powered off.
Using the control menus
To access the control menus, press the MENU button. Navigate the menu
structure using the ENTER, DOWN and UP buttons. Select any required menu
option using the ENTER button. To return to the previous level in the menu
structure without making a change, press the MENU button.
To exit the menus, press and hold the MENU button.
DMX addressing
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to
receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture can be controlled using
signals sent by a DMX controller on twelve channels. Each DMX controlled
fixture must have a DMX address set. For example, if a fixture has a DMX
address of 10, then it uses channels 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
and 21. The following fixture in the DMX chain could then be set to a DMX
address of 22.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control
channels. Two fixtures of the same type may share the same address, if
identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic
purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse
pan and tilt options.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. In the control menu, select DMX ADDRESS and press ENTER to confirm.
The present address will blink in the display.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the address (1 to 512).
3. Once the address has been selected, press ENTER to set it (or press
MENU to exit without saving any changes).
