To change the DMX ID, click the ENTER button beneath
the LED display and you’ll see red dots separating the ID
segments.
Use the UP or DOWN buttons to select the desired ID,
then click the ENTER button again to Save the ID.
Use the supplied “tweaker” (a tiny flat-blade screwdriver)
to adjust the voltage output from the PTX that will supply
DC power to the camera you’ll be using with the PTX.
Check the camera manufacturer’s information regarding the DC voltage
required to power the camera.
CAUTION
: The output can be set from 3V to 28V, so be
SURE you know what your camera is ‘expecting’ and set
the voltage accordingly before you connect the PTX power
connector to the camera’s DC power input.
Use the built-in voltage display meter to confirm your
settings during output adjustment.
Improper voltage output can result in (a) the camera not
powering on, or (b) potential damage to the camera if the
voltage is set higher than the manufacturer’s
specifications.
Note: be sure to set the MODE and DMX/VISCA ID DIP
switches on the base of the PTX at the same time you set
the DMX ID using the LED display above them on the
fixture. Following is a chart showing the corresponding
camera numbers, DMX Values and DMX/VISCA ID DIP
settings.
It’s good practice to set the corresponding DIP switches at
the same time you set the DMX ID for each fixture. The
MODE switch settings are discussed on the next page.
