9. OPERATION process that test all the fixture’s functions. When the reset process concludes the LCD will
display the fixture’s current DMX. If the fixture is not receiving a DMX signal, the display will
flash continuously. To set or adjust a DMX address, please follow the procedure below:
1. While the current three-digit address is flashing use the “UP” and “DOWN”
buttons to select a new address. Once the new address has been selected, lock
the new address into the fixture’s memory by pressing the “ENTER” button.
The DMX address is non-volatile 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
Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller
such as the Elation® Show Designer 2™ or Elation® Show Designer 3™ to control head
movement, the color wheel, the shutter (strobe), and all other DMX traits. A DMX controller
allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs. The Impression™
uses 14 DMX channels. See page 25 for detailed description of the DMX traits. To control
your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures below as well as the set-up
specifications that are included with your DMX controller. Use the controller’s faders to
control the various DMX fixture traits. This will allow you to create your own programs.
1. Follow the instruction on page above to set the DMX address.
2. Be sure to use a terminator on the last fixture, especially for longer cable runs (more
than a 100 feet).
3. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX
controller.
