DMX 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.
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 Cameleon Spot will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has max.
8
channels.
When using multiple Cameleon Spots, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Cameleon Spot should be
1(001)
; the DMX address of the second
Cameleon Spot should be
1+8=9
; the DMX address of the third Cameleon Spot should be
9+8=17
, etc.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each Cameleon Spot
correctly. If two or more Cameleon Spots are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing’ (menu d001)
Controlling:
After having addressed all Cameleon Spots, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note:
After switching on, the Cameleon Spot 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 Cameleon Spot.
•
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’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 20 seconds
When no button is pressed for 20 seconds, the display will be locked.
To unlock the display you have to simultaneously press the first (MODE) and fourth (DOWN) button.
Once you have pressed both buttons, the display will light up.
