ADJ FOC635 - DMX Addressing

ADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Focus Spot 6Z User Manual Page 13
All xtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct xture
responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which
the xture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment
of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control
display on the xture.
You can set the same starting address for all xtures or a group of xtures, or set dierent addresses
for each individual xture. Setting all xtures to the same DMX address will cause all xtures to react
in the same way, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will aect all the xtures
simultaneously.
If you set each xture to a dierent DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number
you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each xture. That means changing the settings
of one channel will only aect the selected xture.
In the case of the Focus Spot 6Z, when in 21 channel mode you should set the starting DMX address
of the rst unit to 1, the second unit to 22 (21 + 1), the third unit to 43 (22 + 21), and so on. (See the
chart below for more details.)
