DMX MODE
1. Connect DMX Board: Connect your
DMX512-compliant device to the fixture via
the DMX “In” Socket on the right side of the
Control Panel
2. Engage DMX Mode: Flip the DMX Mode On/Off
Switch to the up position, the DMX indicator
light will turn on. You are now in DMX mode
and can use a DMX board to control the light.
Your digital display will look like the facing
graphic and will register value changes via the
connected DMX board.
3. Adjust Starting Address: You will also notice
that there is a fifth symbol when in DMX mode
- “A”. This indicates the light’s starting ad-
dress, and its value determines which controls
on the DMX board are used to operate the
light. The starting address can be any value
between 1 and 512. Selecting the one you
want can be achieved in two different ways via
the control panel’s Right Dial:
a. Coarse Adjustment: Turn the right
dial in either direction to change
the address’ value in increments
of 10.
b. Fine Adjustment: Press the right
dial in slightly, then continue to
press in while turning in either
direction to change the value by
increments of 1.
NOTE: Any values for S, H, D & C that have been provided by the DMX board will persist
even after the DMX board has been unplugged. Conversely, if the controls on the DMX
board are adjusted post-separation and then the board is reconnected, the light will
overwrite the previous ones.
