Operating Instructions

DMX-512 addressing

This mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 6 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and notate the start address selected for future reference.

If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol than I suggest jumping to the Appendix Section and read the heading “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful information that

will help you understand its use.

1.Press the [MENU] button until the display reads “Addr”.

2.Press the [ENTER] button confirm selection.

3.Press the [Up] and [Down] buttons to increase or decrease values until the desired value is achieved.

4.Press the [Enter] button to activate selection.

Pan Invert & T ilt Inv ert

It is possible to invert the pan and tilt head movement from within the fixture itself. This could be helpful in situations where the positioning or rigging of a fixture led to a reverse orientation of the fixture in relation to all or most other fixtures installed. When choosing to command the pan or tilt of all fixtures at the same time you will notice that the fixtures whose orientation is different from the others will most likely move opposite of the rest. You can apply a pan and tilt Invert by following the settings in the table below.
