8. DEVICE DMX START ADDRESS SELECTION
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture
responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the
fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of
this starting address is achieved by setting the correct address number on the display located on the base
of the device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for
each fixture individually.
If you set the same address on all devices, all the devices will start to “listen” to the same control signal
from the same channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the
fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on
the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only
the selected device.
In the case of the led move head, which is a 25 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the
first unit to 1, the second unit to 26 (25 + 1), the third unit to 51 (25+ 26), and so on.
9. DISPLAY
The Display offers several features: you can set the starting address, run the pre-programmed
program or reset the device.
The main menu is accessed by pressing the -button until the display starts flashing. Browse
through the menu by pressing the -button, -button, -button or -button.
Press the Enter-button in order to select the desired menu. You can change the selection by
pressing the -button, -button, -button or -button. Confirm every selection
by pressing the -button. You can leave every mode by pressing the -button. After
accessing the edit mode, the unit will automatically exit to the main menu after 15 seconds from
the last button press. When the unit is powered on, if no data signal is connected after 1 minute,
then the display will switch off automatically. The Display does not need external power to
operate. Hold down the -button for 3 seconds and the Display will turn on by using the unit’s
battery built in battery.
