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 Galaxy will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 

19

 channels.

When using multiple Galaxys, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Galaxy should be 

1(001)

; the DMX address of the second Galaxy

should be 

1+19=20 (020

); the DMX address of the third Galaxy should be 

20+19=39 (039)

, etc.

Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each Galaxy correctly.
If two or more Galaxys are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing’ (menu 

)

Controlling:

After having addressed all Galaxy fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.

Note:

 After switching on, the Galaxy 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.

The problem may be:
- The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Galaxy.
- 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.
