DMX Controlling Mode
DIP 10 & DIPS 1-9:
Turning Dip 10 On and setting a start address using Dips 1-9 puts
the fixture in DMX mode. When this unit is set in DMX mode, it uses
2 channels. To set all the dip switches for proper DMX operation,
please refer to the DMX Channel Assignment section of this user
manual.
DMX-512 Control
Fixtures require a "Start Address" from 1 to 512, setting the first DMX channel containing data
for the fixture (see DMX Background). Before addressing fixtures, consult the manual of the
system’s DMX controller to select a desirable addressing scheme. Valid Start Addresses range
from 1 to 512. Fixtures requiring more than one channel for control will read subsequent
channels up to the total number of channels required. Since this fixture requires 2 channels of
DMX, if set to a Start Address of 7 it would use data from channels: 7 and 8. Choose a Start
Address so the channels used do not overlap with other fixtures. In some cases, it may be
desirable to set two or more same type fixtures to the same Start Address. In this case, the
fixtures will be slaved together and respond to the same data. Because all fixtures see the
same data, fixtures may be set to any address without concern for the order they are connected
by the DMX cables.
DMX Data Connection
This fixture uses 3 pin XLR type connectors and shielded twisted pair cable approved for EIA-
422/EIA485 use. Fixtures are connected in Daisy Chain topography: Connection is made from
the controller to the DMX-IN of the first light, then from the DMX-OUT to the DMX-IN of the next
light and so on. Only one data source can be on a chain and no branching is allowed. The
physical order in which the fixtures are connected is not important, use the most convenient.
