DMX Dip Switch Value Guide
DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals.
Addresses on the controller are set by flipping the appropriate DMX Dip switches.
You need to know that DMX address settings are the sum of the dip switch values.
A standard DMX address for a Showtec Star Sky, which has 5 channels is as follow:
Example
Star Sky
Address Value
DMX Dip Switches "ON"
Unit 5
21
#1 , #3, #5
Switch
Value
#1
1
#3
4
#5
16 +
Total sum
21
Explanation: Since each unit has 5 channels, each address advances 5 values (See Address Value
above).
Once address values are determined, add DMX dip switch values to obtain the appropriate address
(DMX Dip Switches "ON") for each unit. Flip appropriate DMX dip switches on each unit.
Maintenance
The Showtec Star Sky 2
requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced.
Disconnect the mains power supply, and
then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid.
The housing will require monthly
cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light-output very quickly.
Do not use alcohol or solvents. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the
connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or
supplying electric power.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
1.
All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must
not be corroded.
2.
There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
3.
The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
Replacing a Fuse
Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the
fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens,
follow the directions below to do
so.
1.
Unplug the unit from electric power source.
2.
Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Turn the screwdriver to the left, at the same
time gently push a bit (Turn and Push). The fuse will come out.
3.
Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
4.
Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to
use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.
