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 Revolution will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has
12 channels.
When using multiple Revolutions, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Revolution should be
1(A001) ; the DMX address of the second
Revolution
should be
1+12=13(A013 ); the DMX address of the third Revolution should be 13+12=25(A025) , etc.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each Revolution correctly.
If two or more Revolutions are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing’ (menu
)
Controlling:
After having addressed all Revolution fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Revolution 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 Revolution.
