Setting the starting address

Operating Instructions

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.

Setting the starting address

1.Press the [MENU] arrow button until the display reads “Addr” .

2.Press the [SELECT] arrow buttons to increase or decrease values until the desired value is achieved.

3.Press the [MENU] button to activate selection.

User Configurations

{16.br} 8/16 bit Control Channel

In the 16 bit Control Channel mode you gain a higher degree of resolution in both Pan and Tilt movement. One extra channel for both the Pan and the Tilt are added and they perform as the “Fine” movement.

The primary Pan or Tilt channel is known as the MSB “Most Significant Bit”. This is the channel that controls the course or broader range of movement. On a DMX signal stream, there are 255 values for one channel.

The “Fine” Pan or Tilt channel is known as the LSB “Least Significant Bit”. This channel gives you control of the space between any two MSB values. In other words, it increases the resolution of both the Pan and Tilt movement, by providing the control of 255 additional values in between each Primary channel value.

{r.PAn} Pan reverse / {r.tilt} Tilt reverse

It is possible to invert the pan and tilt mirror movement from within the fixture itself. This could be helpful in situations where the positioning or rigging of a fixture led to a reverse orientation of the fixture in relation to all or most other fixtures installed. When choosing to command the pan or tilt of all fixtures at the same time you will notice that the fixtures whose orientation is different from the others will most likely move opposite of the rest. You can apply a pan and tilt Invert by following the settings in the table below.
