5. Addressing
The Control Panel on the top side of the ARENA PROFILE SPOT allows you to
assign the DMX fixture address. This is defined as the first channel from which
the ARENA PROFILE SPOT will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the ARENA PROFILE SPOT
when set to 8 Bit Protocol, will use channels 5 to 20 for control. Please, be sure
that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each ARENA
PROFILE SPOT correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX
data link.
If two, three or more ARENA PROFILE SPOT fixtures are addressed similarly,
they will operate identically.
For address setting follow this procedure:
1. Switch on the ARENA PROFILE SPOT and wait until the fixture reset has
finished ("rSt" is flashing on the display).
2. Press the [Mode] key in order to access the main menu. Browse through
the menu by pressing the [Up] and [Down] keys until the display shows "A001".
Confirm by pressing [Enter] key and the letter "A" will flash.
3. Use the [Up] and [Down] keys to select the desired address.
4. Confirm by pressing [Enter] or [Mode] to cancel.
Controlling:
After having addressed all ARENA PROFILE SPOT fixtures, you may now start
operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the ARENA PROFILE SPOT will automatically
detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is no data
received at the DMX input, the display will start to flash "A001" or
with the set address. This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not
connected with the input of the ARENA PROFILE SPOT
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector
is defective or the DMX signal wires are reversed (Pin 2 + and Pin 3 -) in
the input connector.
- It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in
the last lighting in the link in order to ensure proper transmission of
the DMX data link.
