Chauvet TFX-FS360 user manual DMX Mode, Setting the ST ART ING Address

Operating Instructions

DMX Mode

Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to customizing or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture independently.

SETTING THE ST ART ING ADDRESS

This DMX 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.

The TFX-FS360 utilizes two DMX control channels.

1)Press the FUNCTION button until the DMX Mode LED turns on.

2)Press the UP or DOWN buttons until the starting channel address you desire is located on the digital display.
