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.

The COLORbar™ SMD has three DMX personalities, from a 3-channel mode for basic control to a 24-channel mode with more advanced control over the lights.

The COLORbar™ SMD uses up to 24 DMX channels in its 24-channel DMX mode, which defines the highest configurable address to 489.

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.

If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, you may refer to the DMX Primer at www.chauvetlighting.com.

To select the DMX personality, do the following:

1.Press <MENU> repeatedly until 3-CH,7-CH,or 24CH shows on the display.

2.Press <ENTER> to choose your DMX personality when it appears on the display.

To then choose your starting address:

1.The display should show d 1 once you’ve selected your DMX personality using the steps above.

2.Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.

3.Press <ENTER>.
