Chauvet DMX512 Control Panel Functions, Setting the DMX address, Password Menu Lockout, Enter

Setting the DMX address

Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 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 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™ Panel uses up to 9 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.

Password Menu Lockout

The COLORdash™ PAR has a password lock-out feature. This can be enabled/disabled by using the Control Panel.

Note: This feature uses a default, non-changeable, password of up + down + up + down. After 30 seconds of inactivity, the lockout will automatically engage once it has been enabled.
