AUTO TERMINATE FEATURE
The Celeb 400Q DMX fixtures have an
AUTO TERMINATE
feature. The last fixture
that does not have an XLR cable attached
to the DMX “Out” port will automatically
terminate.
Any theatrical lighting board with DMX512
protocol can be used to control the
Celeb 400Q DMX fixture. The fixtures can
be jumpered using the IN and OUT ports.
As many as 100 fixtures can be jumpered
on one chain as long as the DMX cable run
remains under 1000 feet or 40 x 25ft DMX
cables.
Note:
When operating fixtures
at great distances from the dimmer
board, it is recommended to use
Opto-Isolators to provide DMX
signal amplification.
Kelvin Color Temperature – Dimmer level
When DMX is applied, the DMX signal will override the manual settings and
the Celeb Kelvin temperature will default to 5500K and dim setting will be at
100%. Sliding the fader on the 1st channel will lower the light level. Sliding
the fader on the 2nd channel will lower the Kelvin from 5500K to 2700K.
(See chart on the following page for approximate Kelvin dimmer levels.).
The fixture may respond ± 4 slider channels, depending on the dimmer board.
All manual controls are disabled once the
DMX cable is applied and DMX is turned on.
Note
: To regain manual control with the
DMX cable plugged in, set the DMX address
to “0”.
DMX Kelvin Dimmer Control
Note:
The detailed DMX mapping for the Celeb 400Q DMX fixture can be downloaded
from the Operation Manual posted on www.kinoflo.com.
Note:
All Kelvin indicator lights will turn green if a valid DMX signal is present.
If a fixture loses its DMX signal, it will hold its last DMX command.
For this reason, it is important to turn a fixture off using the DMX commands.
For example, if you try to turn off the lights by turning off the dimmer board, the lights
will remember their last DMX command and stay on. The fixtures require a DMX “Off”
or “Black-Out” command in order to turn off.
