Setting the DMX address:
The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each fixture
requires a “start address” from 1- 512. 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 7 channels of DMX
and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels:
100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the
channels used do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.
DMX 512:
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of
communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller
sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the fixture. DMX data is
sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and
DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only
have a data “out” terminal).
DMX linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different
manufacturers to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as
long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper
DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest
cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line
does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned to a
DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at
the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address
of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that
unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
This fixture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on
the back of the unit. Your unit requires either a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR
connector for data input/output,see images below.
Notice:
Be sure to follow the
diagrams below when making your own cables. Do not connect the cables shield
conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact
with the XLRs outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit
and erratic behavior
Line termination:
When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the
last unit to avoid erratic behavior. Using a cable terminator will decrease
the possibility of erratic behavior. (3-pin – Order ref: CABL90, 5-pin – Order
ref: CABL89)
5-pin XLR DMX connectors:
Some manufacturers use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The diagram below details the correct cable conversion
Power linking:
This fixture provides
power linking via the power output on the rear allowing multiple units to be
connected together. The maximum number of fixtures that can be connected is 16
fixtures @ 240V or 8 fixtures @ 120V (including the first fixture). After the
maximum number of fixtures are connected a new power run will need to be
started. Please note: Caution should be used when power linking other fixtures
to the Graphix as the power consumption of other fixtures will vary. Fixtures
fitted with lamps often require 2/3 times more current on startup, these may
require their own power source
