DMX operation
In order to access the DMX functions, the DMX start address will need to be
set on the control panel (or from the remote control – see below).
When the display shows “d001”, this means that the PAR12 is operated by
channels 1-8 as detailed on the previous page. When the display shows “d203”,
this means that the PAR12 is operated by channels 203-210.
The start address can be anywhere between 001 and 512
Standalone operation
The PAR12 can be operated without external control by selecting one of the
Auto or custom static color settings from the control panel menu. These are
shown in the Internal Settings section on page 3 of this manual.
Internal settings can also be selected via the included IR remote control as
detailed below.
As supplied, the remote handset has a clear plastic tab inserted which should
be removed to activate the CR2025 button cell. Point the handset toward the

Master/slave operation
A PAR12 fixture operating in one of the standalone modes may be connected to
further PAR12 units by DMX lead (XLR-XLR) as a master unit. The slave units
must be set to “IP” mode to mimic the operation of the master unit.
The LED display will show “IP” followed by two digits, which is the IP number.
The IP the number is not used in the PAR12 and any setting from IP01 to IP64
will operate as slave mode (IP numbers are only used in different types of
fixtures)
When IP mode is selected, the PAR12 will mimic any DMX input from another
PAR12 operating in standalone Auto or Static Colour mode.
