CONTROL MENU
DMX SET
(if DMX/RDM mode 2 or 3 is selected)
Select a DMX starting address in the range 001 to 510
1 – Lamp Relay
In RDM Mode 3 an addition two slots are required
2 – Fan Relay
3 – Heater Relay
Note that the DMX control is designed using a SAFETY pile-on Logic. In other words, the
DMX input can only override automatic settings in a safe manner. For example, if the
enclosure has switched off the lamp relay due to an over-temperature condition, the DMX
input cannot switch it on, if the fans are running because of Overtemp, the DMX input
cannot turn them off, and so on.
The DMX SET menu can be ignored if the DEC3 is in Standalone or DMX/RDM Mode 1 (RDM
Monitor) mode.
SET LAMP HOURS TO 0
The lamp hour counter needs to be reset each time you change the lamp in the
fixture/projector. Make this a part of your maintenance instructions.
STATUS DISPLAY

in Tornado moving light enclosures the temp/humidity sensor is located in the exhaust
airflow, which may be significantly warmer than ambient.
HUMIDITY SET
The humidity level above which the heater kicks in to remove humidity from incoming air
(default 80%, permissible range 50-90%). This setting should not normally be changed.
