4. Terminate the link by
installing a 120 ohm, 1/4
w a t t ( m i n i m u m )
terminator in the fixture’s
Data Out (female) cable
connector in the last
fixture on each DMX link.
A terminator on the last
f i x t u r e o f t h e l i n k
prevents data reflection, which can corrupt the data communication on the link.

Powering On the Fixture
!
!
!
To power on the fixture, simply connect it to a
100-230 V AC
power source.
Once the fixture is connected to a power source, it automatically begins a homing procedure to
verify the major functions of the fixture.

Setting the DMX Start Channel
Each fixture requires a block of consecutive channels on a 512-Channel DMX link. The number
of channels depends on the protocol you are using.
To set the Start Channel on an fixture:
1. Access the fixture’s menu system via the on board display of the fixture. For a detailed
description of the menu system, see
Chapter 3: The Menu System
.
2. Press and hold the
Menu
button until AddR appears on the display. Press the
Enter
button
to select.
3. The display will show the start channel currently assigned to the fixture.
4. Use the
Up
and
Down
arrow buttons to select a new DMX start channel. The display will
show a new option ready for selection.
5. Press the
Enter
button to store the new DMX Start channel. The display will stop flashing
when a new option is entered.
When setting the Start channel on a fixture, remember:
• A fixture’s physical location on the link does not have to coincide with the order of channel
range assignments in the link.
• The fixture’s channel range must not overlap any other device’s channel range on the link.
When two devices on the same DMX link have overlapping channel ranges, one or both
devices will be disabled or behave erratically. The single exception would be if two or more
fixtures need to respond to controller commands in exactly the same way. In that case, those
fixtures must be the same type and must share the
entire
channel range.

Shutting Down the Fixture
To shoot down a fixture you can simply switch off power.
