4.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Configuring the Starting Address

Each fixture requires a starting address from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the starting address. For example, a fixture that uses seven DMX channels and is addressed to start on DMX channel 100, will read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose the starting addresses for each fixture so that the channels used do not overlap. In addition, you should note the starting address selected for future reference.

The Line Dancer LED™ fixture uses four DMX channels. If this is your first time using DMX, we

recommend reading the “DMX Primer” section in the “Appendix”.

DMX Operation

This is the operating mode which will allow for control with an external DMX controller. You must set the starting address for this mode. If this is your first time using DMX, then it is recommended that you refer to the “DMX Primer” section in the “Appendix” of this manual.

1.Plug the DMX controller into the fixture.

2.Using the DIP switches 1~9, assign the DMX starting address.

The blue LED located directly to the right of the DIP switches will blink rapidly when the fixture detects DMX signal.

This fixture will switch to DMX mode automatically when a DMX controller is plugged into the fixture.

Master/Slave

This is the operating mode which will allow 1 fixture to act as the “master” and control all of the other “slave” fixtures. You must set both the master and the slave(s) fixtures to the correct mode for this operation.

Master Settings:

1.You may choose to operate this fixture in Automatic or Sound mode on the master fixture. Please see the standalone options for these settings.

Slave Settings:

1.Set all DIP switches to the OFF position.

The first fixture in the chain will automatically be set to the master. When all of the DIP switches on the slave fixtures are set to the OFF position, they will follow the master.

Do not connect a DMX controller to the daisy chain for this operating mode.
