VOLT Q5E™ User Manual ver 2
DMX ADDRESSING
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so
the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address
is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control
information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX
address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital display
located on the back of the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set
different address for each individual fixture. Be advised that setting all fixtures to the
same DMX address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other
words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the
channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX
channels) of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only
affect the selected fixture.
In the case of the VOLT Q5E™ , when in the 9 Channel Extended Mode you should
set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 10 (1 + 9), the
third unit to 19 (10 + 9), and so on.
Note: During start-up the VOLT Q5E
™
will automatically detect whether a DMX data
signal is being received or not. If DMX data signal is being received, the display will
show "Addr=XXX" ( XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not
receiving a DMX signal the display will flash. If your fixture is connected to a DMX
controller and the display is flashing (not receiving a DMX signal), please check the
following:
- The 3pin XLR input plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not
connected or is not inserted completely into the DMX input jack of the fixture.
-
The DMX controller is switched off or defective.
-
The DMX cable or connector is defective.
-
A DMX terminator has been inserted into the last fixture in your DMX chain.
