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

 48 

channels. 

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

1(001)

; the DMX address of the second Pixel 

Square should be 

1+48=49 (049)

; the DMX address of the third Pixel Square should be 

49+48=97 (097)

, etc. 

Please, make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Pixel Square 
correctly. If two or more Pixel Squares are addressed similarly, they will work similarly. 
 

Controlling: 

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

Note:

 After switching on, the Pixel Square 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 Pixel Square.

 

 

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.  
 

 

Display Off after 20 seconds

 

 

When no button is pressed for 20 seconds, the display will turn off. 
To light up the display, you have to press the MODE, SETUP, UP or DOWN button. 
Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.
