Control Mode
The devices are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The devices respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save
it, the controller will display the saved DMX address, next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the device allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the
first channel with which the Dancefloor Sparkle DMX Box will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has
5
channels.
When using multiple Dancefloor Sparkle DMX Boxes, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Dancefloor Sparkle DMX Box should be
1(d001)
; the DMX address
of the second Dancefloor Sparkle DMX Box should be
1+5=6 (d006
); the DMX address of the third
Dancefloor Sparkle DMX Box should be
6+5=11 (d011)
, etc. Please, be sure that you do not have any
overlapping channels in order to control each Dancefloor Sparkle DMX Box correctly. If two or more
Dancefloor Sparkle DMX Boxes are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Dancefloor Sparkle DMX Boxes, you may now start operating these via your
lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the Dancefloor Sparkle DMX Box will automatically detect whether DMX 512
data is received or not. If not, the problem may be:
•
The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Dancefloor Sparkle DMX
Box.
•
The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note:
It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last device in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
