Fixture setup
This section explains the fixture characteristics you can set that determine how
it can be controlled and will behave. You choose the settings using the menus
available from the control panel, and they are retained even when the fixture is
powered off.
You can also set the options on the fixture remotely over the DMX line using a
suitable RDM controller.
A complete map of the control menu structure and brief explanations of their
purposes can be found on page 32.
Using the control menus
To access the control menus, press the MENU button. Navigate the menu
structure using the ENTER, DOWN and UP buttons. To select a menu option
or to confirm a selection, press the ENTER button. To return to a higher level
in the menu structure without making a change, press the MENU button.
To exit the control menus completely, press and hold the MENU button.
DMX addressing
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to
receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture is controlled using a
minimum of 24 DMX channels (but has an extended mode which uses more
channels). Each DMX controlled fixture must have a DMX address set. For
example, if the fixture has a DMX address of 10, then it uses channels 10 to
33 inclusive. The following fixture in the DMX chain could then be set to a
DMX address of 35.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control
channels. Two fixtures of the same type may share the same address if
identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic
purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse
pan and tilt options.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. In the control menu, select DMX ADDRESS and press ENTER to confirm.
The present address will blink in the display.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select an address from 1 to 492 (the
top address will vary depending on the DMX mode of the fixture).
3. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.
