Menu Option 1: DMX Address
Entering DMX Mode
Press the MENU/ENTER button once. The current DMX base
address (Channel 1) will be depicted on the numeric display.
Pressing the UP/DOWN navigation buttons will increment
or decrement the base address on the display. A single tap will
alter the displayed address by one, while pressing and holding
a navigation button will cause the address to change rapidly.
Valid addresses will range from 1 to 511. Once the desired
Base Address for Channel 1 is reached, pressing the MENU/
ENTER Button will save this address as the new DMX Base
Address.
DMX Features
The Quasar unit can be remotely controlled using industry
standard DMX-512 protocol. In DMX Mode, Channel 1
dictates the Strobe Rate. DMX values from 1-90% increase
the frequency of strobe flash from 1-24 Hz. Above 90%
activates Continuous Mode (constant light output). Channel
2 accepts values which dictate flash intensity above 10%.
Chaining Multiple Units
Independent unit control of multiple flash units requires unique
channel addresses to be programmed into each fixture. If
identical control of multiple units from a single control source is
desired, each unit may have the same DMX base address.
