Set the product in DMX mode to control with a DMX controller.

1.Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.

2.Turn the product on.

3.Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input socket on the product.

When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.

The Minisphere™ 3.1 uses up to 6 DMX channels in its single DMX mode, which defines the highest configurable address to 507.

If unfamiliar with DMX or DIP switches, download the DMX Primer from www.chauvetlighting.com.

To select the starting address, do the following:

1.Press <MENU> repeatedly until 512 shows on the display.

2.Press <ENTER>.

3.Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address (d 1–d512).

4.Press <ENTER>.
