Control 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. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the
first channel from which the Galactic will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 13 channels.
When using multiple Galactics, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Galactics should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second
Galactic should be 1+13=14 (014); the DMX address of the third Galactic should be 14+13=027 (027), etc.
Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Galactic
correctly. If two or more Galactics are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Galactic fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Galactic will automatically detect whether DMX-512 data is received or not.
If there is no data received, the problem may be:
●
The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Galactic.
●
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 fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
