Setup for DMX controlled mode
DMX controlled mode gives you full control over every function of the unit.
Using a suitable DMX controller such as the Abstract CE controller, you can
program the lightshow just the way you want it. However, it does take a bit
more setting up, and a lot more programming time, than the stand alone
lightshow.
Connect your controller to the “DMX in” socket on the first unit, using a 3-pin
XLR cable. If you are using a controller with a 5-pin DMX output, you will
need to use a 5 to 3 pin adaptor with pins 2 and 3 swapped (pin 2 is ‘hot’).
Connect the next unit, if you have one, to the DMX output plug.
This unit buffers the DMX signal as it passes through the unit, which means that
you can connect as many units together as you want. You don’t need to connect
a line terminator in the last unit.
Setting the dip switches on the units
Your DMX controller sends out commands for all the units it is controlling
down one cable. You need to tell each unit which commands to respond to by
setting dip switches 1-9. The correct settings depend on what controller you
are using, and how it is set up, but usually the first unit is set to “address 1”, the
second to “address 5”, the third to “address 9” and so on - keep adding 4 to the
address. (See the back page of this manual for more help).
Note: if you want two units to behave exactly the same, you can set the
dip switches for both units to the same channel.
You can change the dipswitches while the units are running, and the new
settings will take effect immediately. You don’t need to turn the unit off and on.
