DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the first
channel with which the Polar will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has 28 channels.
When using multiple Polars, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Polar should be 1 (001); the DMX address of the second Polar
should be 1+28=29 (029); the DMX address of the third Polar should be 29+28=57 (057), etc.
Make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Polar correctly. If two
or more Polars are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Polar fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the Polar will automatically detect whether DMX-512 data is received or not. If
there is no data received at the DMX input, the DMX address on the start screen will be blinking.
The problem may be:
●
The DMX cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Polar.
● 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 a termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure proper
transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 60 seconds
When no button is pressed for 60 seconds, the display will turn off.
To light up the display, press and hold down the BACK button for 5 seconds.
