2. DMX SETUP
Main PWS DMX set up. ADMIN security access only. This menu is used to set up the DMX mask for each room,
configure the operation of room specific (unmasked) channels, and set the external DMX source input priority in
conjunction with the PWS Main station DMX output.
Pressing the DMX icon in the SETTINGS menu will allow access to the DMX SETUP page.
DIM = Yellow = Dimmer assignment to that specific DMX output channel permitting a full range of DMX control
output from 0-100% from the Main PWS.
ND = Green = Non-Dim assignment to that specific channel permitting toggle between 0% and 100% DMX control
output with a trigger point of approximately 3% DMX.
TASK = Blue = Non-Dim of specific channels for operation within any preset or independent operation outside
of the active preset between multiple Secondary (entrance) PWS stations (room within a room operation). TASK
assignment to a specific DMX channel or group of channels permits toggle (Non-Dim control) between 0% and
100% DMX control output with a trigger point of approximately 3% DMX. “Room with a room” operation is limited
to presets 61-70. Task lights assigned in presets 1- 60 will operate as Non-Dims only on preset execution.
Example: TASK circuit assignment. Several grid blue (safety) light circuits that require control from multiple
entrance (Secondary PWS) locations. The need for all entrance (Secondary PWS) stations to mimic the active
TASK light preset and operate as a “room within a room” without affecting the underlying active preset 1-60 that
the room Main PWS is outputting in DMX.
Below is an example of a 28 DMX channel room configuration where:
• channels 1-11, 13-15, 17,18, 21-24 are set as Dimmers (DIM).
• channels 12, 16, 19 & 20 are set as Non-Dims (ND).
• channels 25- 28 are set as Non-Dim TASK lights (TASK).
Menu down arrow above will access DMX output channels in groups of
32 channels per page up to 512 channels.
