To set the product in DMX mode for control with a DMX controller, do the following:

1.Make sure the product is plugged into a power source.

2.Connect the male end of a DMX cable to the DMX output socket of the DMX controller and the female end of the same cable to the DMX input socket on the product.

Set the DMX starting address and personality by following the directions below.

When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels needed for the selected DMX personality. Choosing a starting address that is too high can restrict access to some of the product’s channels.

The Intimidator™ Wash Zoom 250 IRC uses either 7 or 14 channels, depending on the personality. The highest configurable DMX address in 7-channel mode is 506. The highest configurable DMX address in 14-channel mode is 499.

After the DMX starting address and personality have been set, there will be a delay of 30 seconds before the display automatically returns to showing the current DMX address and the DMX personality.
