Overvi ew
DMX is a digital control system widely used in entertainment and architectural
lighting. Any controller meeting the DMX-512 standard may be used to control
and program the fog output of the RUSH Club Smoke Dual™.
When a DMX signal is present, the RUSH Club Smoke Dual™ stand-
alone functions do not work. To fire the unit from the control panel
or remote control, the DMX controller must be powered off or
disconnected.
Connecti on
The RUSH Club Smoke Dual™ system provides 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors
on the top of the base pump unit for DMX connection.
You can use either the 3-pin or 5-pin connectors for in or link through, but you
should not use the unit as a splitter by connecting both the 3-pin and 5-pin
outputs.
For best results, use cable designed for high speed digital data transmission.
Suitable DMX cable is available from your Martin dealer.

channel 3 by address 102 and channel 4 by address 103.
