to this same DMX line in a daisy chain. The DMX cable must be a shielded
twisted pair that is equipped with male and female XLR connectors.
USING DMX VIA ART-NET
To control the fixture via ArtNet, the fixtures must be interconnected with
RJ45 cable. Be careful to set all necessary information regarding the ART-NET
configuration with universe being used and specify in the menu that the
fixture is being controlled through ART-NET (see OPTION DETAILS in the «
OPTIONS » menu).
THE 250W LED hybrid fixture DMX ADDRESS SETTING
-
All 250W LED hybrid fixture must have a DMX start address correctly set when using a DMX signal to control them. The DMX start address is the channel from which the 250W LED hybrid fixture
-
“listens” to the digital control information sent by the DMX controller.
The start address must conform to the one set on the DMX controller to control the fixture. This address is the DMX value that appears on the fixture’s display. You can set the same address for all the fixtures, or some of them, but you can also set a different address for each fixture, as needed. -
If you do set the same address for all the fixtures, they will all “listen” from the DMX channel you have set. The instructions sent by the DMX controller will affect all fixtures at the same time. If you set a different address per fixture, the DMX controller can control each independently. If, for instance, the fixtures are preset in 00-channel DMX mode (required for full control), you will need to adjust the DMX address for the luminaires as follows: The first unit with DMX address 001, the second with DMX address 020(19 + 1), the third with DMX address 039 (020+19), etc.
DMX 512 Configuration
Please refer to below configurations to control the fixtures Attentions:
- The unit will maintain the last condition until reset if you cut off ffthe DMX signal.
- For the channel Function, keep the value for about 5 seconds, then the corresponding function will take into effect.
