Running in DMX Mode

This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address" that can be set from 001 to 512. 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.

Replacing a fuse

Disconnect the power cord before replacing a fuse and always

replace with the same type fuse.

With a Philips head screwdriver unscrew the fuse holder until it can be entirely removed. Remove the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with exact same type fuse. Insert the fuse holder back in its place and reconnect power.
