Operating Instructions
Setting the DMX address
Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 244. 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 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and note the start address selected for future reference. The COLORado™ 3 uses 12 channels of DMX. If this is your first time using DMX, we recommend reading the DMX Primer in the Appendix Section.

All fixture functions and settings are accessible via the built in control panel interface.
