DMX OPERATION MODE
In DMX operation, the fixture will be used in an installation where it is desirable to control several fixtures
and related accessories with the use of sophisticated lighting programs or equipment (DMX source).
This is most suitable for applications where all aspects of lighting are to be fully digitally programmed
and executed. Typical installations require fixtures and related accessories to be “addressed” so that
they may be controlled with a DMX source.
1. Energize the xenon power supply and the P3.
2. The laft and right displays will energize and show the TIMER mode – select ADDRESS mode by
depressing each FUNCTION SELECTION BUTTON (diamond button). The display should read “A”
followed by three digits.
3. Press the NUMERIC SELECTION BUTTONS (triangles) until the display reads “A” followed by the DE-
SIRED FIXTURE ADDRESS. NOTE: After setting the address on the first unit, the second unit must have
an address that is (2) units higher than the first (i.e. right 1&3, left 2&4).
4. Plug the DMX cable from the DMX source into the INPUT port on the rear cover of the fixture.
5. When DMX 512 signals are detected (DMX level above 80%/ 204 - 255), a relay within the fixture will
close and the lamp will ignite. The display will also show a decimal point between the “A” charac-
ter and the first “0” digit when DMX is detected.
6. When signals from the DMX source are detected (DMX level below 20%/ 000 - 051) the fixture relay
will open and the lamp will extinguish, but the fixture will remain ON.
In most applications where DMX operation is utilized, it is common to “daisy-chain” or link several other
fixtures and accessories together. This eliminates the need to connect individual cables from the DMX
source to each item.
7. Plug DMX cable into the DMX OUT port on the rear cover of the fixture.
Connect opposite end into next desired DMX accessory or fixture. The fixture will monitor incoming
signals, process those to which it is addressed, and pass all other signals through (use terminator at last
fixture).
