DDRESSING THE FIXTURE
Palco 3 and Palco 5 are fitted with an on-board microcomputer, which enables them to be configured and
addressed for the control of their programming.
There are two fundamental modes in which the units can operate:
Controlled via DMX by an external console
Stand-alone Mode with on-board programming and the possible control of a series of other fixtures using
a MASTER-SLAVE set-up.
We’ll now cover the addressing of a Palco for DMX control using an external console. Stand-Alone mode
on the other hand is covered in the “Stand-alone Programming chapter”
Once the fixture is switched on, its name appears in the display (PALCO 3 or PALCO 5) along with the
version of the software installed on the microcomputer (e.g.: 1.0). As soon as the start-up sequence is
finished, “ADDR = 1” will appear on the display, showing that the fixture is addressed to DMX channel 1.
ATTENTION!
If the flashing message NO SIGNAL or SIGNAL ERROR appears, this means that the
fixture is not receiving a DMX signal from the Console or is receiving an incorrect
signal.
