Control 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. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the first
channel with which the Astro will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has
52 channels.
When using multiple Astros, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Astro should be
1(001) ; the DMX address of the second Astro
should be 1+52=53 (053) ; the DMX address of the third Astro should be 53+52=105 (105) , etc.
Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Astro correctly.
If two or more Astros are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Astro fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the Astro will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If
there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “ LED “ on the control panel will not flash.
If not, the problem may be:
• The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Astro 360 XL.
• The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 30 seconds
When no button is pressed for 30 seconds, the display will turn off.
To light up the display, you have to press the MODE, UP, DOWN or ENTER button.
Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.
