Fixture DMX address;

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the base of the device.

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or make different address for each fixture individually. Be advised that setting all you fixtures to the same DMX address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of each unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only the selected fixture.

In the case of the Focus Spot 250R™, which is a 11 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 12 (11 + 1), the third to 23 (12 + 11), and so on.

Note:

After switching on, the Focus Spot 250R™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data signal is being received or not. If DMX data signal is being received, the display will show "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a DMX
