Operating Instructions

DM X M ode

Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to customizing or creating a show. You can tailor your programming to suit a specific event. Whether it is a wedding where a spot light may be required or a lead singer requiring a color solo, the opportunities are endless. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture independently.

DMX-512 addressing

This mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 511. 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.
