Operating Instructions

DMX Control Mode

With exception to the system setup process all control functions on the controller can be accessed and executed externally via a Universal DMX controller. First you must connect the LED-CHVA controller to an existing DMX daisy chain. The controller is addressable just like any other DMX device or fixture and it will be controlled as if it were a fixture in most intelligent light consoles.
