either of the two emitters begin to fade by raising the value of the Control Offset above zero
for that output channel. Try a value of 100 first. Range is -32,768 to +32,767.
Apply DMX and verify system is working.
See page 14 for information on Sensors Tab and page 15 for information on Info Tab.
To configure as a WIRELESS device using an RDM controller:
Start by connecting an XLR5M to bare end jumper to the DMX terminals of your 5917. Be
careful to maintain polarity
. On the XLR5M pin 1 = common, pin 2 = DMX “-“, pin 3 = DMX
“+”. Connect an RDM controller such as a City Theatrical DMXcat.
If starting from default mode, your 5917 will be in Wired mode, and the green status light will
be blinking.
Using RDM, discover your 5917.

film and video camera shutters, see page 13 for all choices)
- Set Control Offset (At very, very low levels in slow fades, the LED emitters may energize at
different times. If for instance you are using a bi-color tape, you can offset the time that
either of the two emitters begin to fade by raising the value of the Control Offset above zero
for that output channel. Try a value of 100 first. Range is -32,768 to +32,767.
