©Elation® DMX Operator™ or
Show Designer™ to control mirror movement, the color wheel, the
gobo wheel, and the shutter (strobe). A DMX controller allows you to
create unique programs tailored to your individual needs.

controls pan, channel 2 controls tilt, channel 3 controls color,
channel 4 controls the gobo wheel, channel 5 controls strobing,
and channel 6 controls gobo rotation.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 7 - 8 as well as the set-up specifications that are includ-
ed with your DMX controller.
3. Using the “Up” or “Down” buttons, Scroll through the function
LED until “A001” appears in the display, and press “Enter”.
Note: All other menu functions must be turned “OFF” when
using a DMX controller.
4. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
DMX traits are listed on pages 12-13.
5. This will allow you to create your own programs.
6. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.
7. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.
