Fixture setup
This section explains the fixture settings and utilities that the user has access
to via the control panel.

A complete map of the control menu structure can be found in ‘Control menus’
on page 38.
Using the control menus
To access the control menus, press the MENU button. Navigate the menu
structure using the ENTER, DOWN and UP buttons. Select any required
menu option using the ENTER button. To return to the previous level in the

To exit the menus, press and hold the MENU button.
DMX function settings
DMX addressing
The fixture can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller. The
DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to
receive instructions from a DMX controller. Each DMX-controlled fixture must
have a DMX address set. If a fixture has its DMX address set to 1, for
example, then it uses channels 1 to 19. The next fixture on the DMX link can
have its DMX address set to 20, the next to 39 and so on until the 512
channels in one DMX universe are allocated.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control
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 control panel, select DMX FUNCTIONS and press ENTER.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select DMX ADDRESS and press
ENTER to confirm. The present address will blink on the display.
3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the address (1 to 512).
4. Once the address has been selected, press ENTER to set it (or press
MENU to exit without making a change).
