Control Panel Menu
Use the fixture’s Control Panel to access the Control Menu. The MODE Key moves between
options, UP/DOWN selects the Action of the option and ENTER confirms the selection. Settings
are stored and recalled on subsequent power cycles.
Start Address
The Start Address of a fixture is set using the “Addr” mode in the Control Panel Menu. Consult
the manual of the system’s DMX512 controller to select a desirable addressing scheme before
addressing fixtures. Each fixture connected to the DMX-512 data link requires a Start Address
to indicate the first DMX channel containing data designated for that fixture, see DMX-512
Background. 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.
A fixture requiring five (5) channels of DMX, set to a Start Address of eleven (11), would read
data from channels: 11 and 12, 13, 14, 15. The next logical Start Address would be channel
16. Because all fixtures see the same data, fixtures may be set to any address without concern
to order in the DMX-512 chain or physical location. 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.
Example
Select Start Addresses for 4 fixtures each requiring 16 channels of DMX.
Since these are the first fixtures added to the system, the first unit will be set to Start
Address=1. This fixture occupies DMX channels 1 thru 16. The next DMX channel
available for a Start Address is found by adding the previous fixture’s Start Address to its
channel requirement: 1+16=17. DMX channel 17 is the next available Start Address. In
this example, to maximize channel usage no empty channels are left between fixtures so
the second Start Address is set to DMX channel 17. The second fixture occupies DMX
channels 17 thru 32. Repeat the process for the remaining two fixtures: 17+16=33 and
33+16=49. Therefore, the four 16 channel fixtures have Start Addresses of 1, 17, 33 and
49. Repeat the technique once more for the next free channel in the system, 49+16=65.
Channels 65 thru 512 are available for expansion of the system.
