9 MENU FUNCTIONS: 9.1.1. DMX address setting
This function is used to set or adjust the f ixture’s starting DMX address. Every device
controlled by DMX has to have a unique starting address. The addressing feature is
what allows DMX to function properly. The DMX address of a fixture is what allows it to
communicate with a controller properly. The DMX addressing also allo ws the fixture to
ignore any DMX information coming from the controller that is not meant specifically for
the fixture. Because each fixture is connected in a daisy-chain fashion it is imperative to
assign a proper and unique starting DMX address to each and every fixture. The DMX
address is non-destructive and will remain in the fixture’s memory even when the power
to the unit is switched off. Memory is backed-up and retain by an internal power source
that should last about five years. For proper DMX addressing see Section 10/Page 32 of
this user manual.
