2. Connect the first fixture’s DMX output to the DMX input of the next fixture
and continue connecting fixtures output to input. Terminate the last fixture
on the link with a DMX termination plug.
Fixture setup
This section explains the options available to change the fixture’s settings.
Settings are made using the menus available in the control panel and are
retained when the fixture is powered off.
A complete map of the control menu structure and brief explanations of their
purposes can be found in ‘Control menus’ on page 23.
Using the control panel
• To access the control menus in the control panel, press the MENU button.
• Navigate the menu structure using the ENTER, DOWN and UP buttons.
• Scroll between menu items using the DOWN and UP buttons.
• Select any required menu option using the ENTER button.
• To return to the previous level in the menu structure without making a
change, press the MENU button.
• To exit the menus, press and hold the MENU button.
DMX function settings
DMX function settings include the DMX address and Master/Slave mode.
DMX addressing
The fixture can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller over up to
45 channels. The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first
channel used to receive instructions from the DMX controller. Each DMX-
controlled fixture must have a DMX address set. For example, if a fixture has a
DMX address of 1 and you want to use all 45 channels, then the next fixture
can have a DMX address of 46, the next 91, then 136, until the 512 channels
in one DMX universe have all been allocated.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own DMX channels.
Two fixtures of the same type may share the same address, if identical
behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and
symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan and tilt
options.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. In the fixture’s control panel, use the UP and DOWN buttons to select
DMX ADDRESS and press ENTER. The fixture’s currently set DMX
address will blink in the display.
