6. Controller mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data link and connected to the controller.The fixtures respond to
the DMX signal from the controller.
6.1 DMX addressing
The control panel on the front panel of the fixture allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined
as the first channel from which the ColorWash 575 AT will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 23, the ColorWash 575 AT will use the channel 23 to 44 for
control (if mode 1 is selected).
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each ColorWash 575 AT cor-
rectly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more ColorWash 575 AT are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address setting, please refer to the instructions under "Addressing"(menu " A001" ).
Controlling:
After having addressed all ColorWash 575 AT , you may now start operating these via your lighting control-
ler.
Note: After switching on, the ColorWash 575 AT will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received
or not.If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash "A001" with actually set ad-
dress.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN (5pin) XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the Color-
Wash 575 AT
- the controller is switched off or defective, 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) to the last fixture in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
6.2 Remotely controllable functions
Lamp
The ColorWash 575 AT is to be operated with a Philips MSR 575/2 lamp.
A relay inside of the ColorWash 575 AT allows you to switch on and off the lamp via the control panel or via
your DMX-controller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
To switch On/Off the lamp, please refer to "Switching On/Off the lamp" (menu LAMP ).
Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to
be cold before re-striking. For this reason, you have to wait 5 minutes (max. speed of fan must be adjusted)
after having switched Off the lamp before you can switch it back On again. If you try to switch On the lamp
within 5 minutes after having switched it Off, the ColorWash 575 AT will store this information and automati-
cally ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period has expired. The message
"HEAt"
will appear on the control
panel display of the ColorWash 575 AT. If the ignition of the lamp is seven times unsuccessful, on the display
will appear
"LA.Er"
, meaning that the lamp could be damaged or even missed, or there could be a failure on
the ignitor or ballast.
