ferent modes. This next section will detail the differences in the
operating modes.
• Stand alone mode -
The unit will run in stand alone auto mode, or stand alone sound
active mode.

You can daisy chain up to 16 units together to get a synchronized
light show
without the need of an external controller. The units
will
run in auto mode, or sound active mode.
• DMX control mode -
This function will allow you to control
each individual fixtures traits
with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation
®
Show
Designer.
™
Universal DMX Control:
This function allows you to use a uni-
versal DMX-512 controller such as the Elation
®
DMX Operator™ or
Elation
®
Show Designer™ to control the various DMX traits. A DMX
controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your indi-
vidual needs.
1. The Accu Fog 1000 has a five and seven DMX channel mode.
See pages 33-35 for detailed description of the DMX traits.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 7-9 as well as the set-up specifications that are
included with your DMX controller.
3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
4. This will allow you to create your own programs.
5. Follow the instruction on page 13 to set the DMX address.
6. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.
7. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.
