DMX Start address
The P-6 can be operated in different DMX modes. For any of the modes, the first channel used to receive data from a DMX control device
is known as the DMX start address.
For independent control, each P-6 must have a DMX start address set. For example, if the first P-6 is set to 6ch CTC DMX mode with a
start DMX address of 113, the following P-6 in the DMX chain should be set to a DMX address of 119. As the first fixture uses the prior
6 DMX channels, including channel 113, the next available channel is 119 (113+6=119 >> 119).
If two or more fixtures of the same type have the same DMX address, they will behave identically. Incorrect settings will result in
unpredictable responses from the lighting controller. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetrical control.
NOTE!!
When using power link connection, make sure the maximum power capacity is not exceeded in order to avoid short-circuit
and damaging of the fixture.

Standalone operation is not running when the fixture is connected to a control device, but it is pre-programmed with a series of up
to 24 scenes, playing continuously in a loop. Up to three stand-alone programs can be defined and run from the menus, and one of
the programs can be set to run by default whenever the fixture is powered on.
Each of the three available stand-alone programs contains 24 user-definable
scenes with its own RGB and shutter settings.
Each scene has a definable fade-in time for the transition from one color to the
next, and a wait (static) time of up to 120 minutes and 59 seconds.
To define a stand-alone program, press ENTER → MANUAL → EDITOR.
The standalone mode of the fixture’s startup is enabled by pressing:
ENTER → SETTINGS → STARTUP MODE → SELECT STARTUP MODE →
STANDALONE.
To select the fixture’s startup program, press:
ENTER → SETTINGS → STARTUP MODE → STARTUP PROGRAM.
The chosen program will run its length cyclically whenever the fixture is
powered on.
To run an internal program, go to:
ENTER → MANUAL → RUN PROGRAM.
To stop an active internal program, go to:
ENTER → MANUAL → STOP PROGRAM.
