OPERATION
With the power switch, you can switch the device on and off.
After you connected the effect to the mains, the DMB-60 starts running. During the Reset, the motors are
trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards.
Stand Alone operation
In the Stand Alone mode, the DMB-60 can be used without controller. Disconnect the DMB-60 from the
controller and call the internal program. Please refer to the instructions under Control Board.
DMX-controlled operation
You can control the projectors individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different
occupation with different features. The individual channels and their features are listed under DMX-protocol.
Addressing
The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX starting address, which is defined as the first channel from
which the DMB-60 will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 17, the DMB-60 will use the channel 17 to 32 for control.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each DMB-60 correctly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX-chain.
If several DMB-60 are addressed similarly, they will work synchronically.
Press the Up/Down-buttons for setting the desired starting address. Now you can start operating the DMB-60
via your lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is
no data received at the DMX-input, the display will flash.
This situation can occur if:
- the XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the device.
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap
in the input connector.
Note:
It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last lighting in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
