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, next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the backside of the device allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the
first channel with which the Dreamwave will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has 34 channels.
When using multiple Dreamwaves, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Dreamwave should be 1 (001); the DMX address of the second
Dreamwave should be 1+34=35 (035); the DMX address of the third Dreamwave should be 35+34=69
(069), etc. Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each
Dreamwave correctly. If two or more Dreamwaves are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Dreamwave fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Dreamwave will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED “ on the control panel will not flash.
If not, the problem may be:
●
The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Dreamwave.
● 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.
