DMX Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the Star LED allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is
the first channel from which the Star LED will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 4 channels.
When using multiple Star LEDs, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Star LED should be 1(A001); the DMX address of the second Star
LED should be 1+4=5 (A005); the DMX address of the third Star LED should be 5+4=9 (A009), etc. Please,
be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each Star LED correctly.
If two or more Star LEDs are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing’ (menu )
Controlling:
After having addressed all Star LED fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Star LED will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED “ on the control panel will not flash.
The problem may be:
- The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Star LED.
- The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
