DMX Control
Ove rvi e w
DMX is a digital control system widely used in entertainment and architectural
lighting. Any controller meeting the DMX-512 standard may be used to control
and program the fog output of the JEM ZR series™ machines.
When a DMX signal is present, the JEM ZR series™ machine’s
stand-alone functions do not work. To fire the unit from the control
panel or remote control, the DMX controller must be powered off or
disconnected.
If the DMX signal is removed (controller turned off or unplugged),
the machine will revert to its previously stored RUN MODE settings.
If the machine was set to OFF, it will revert to this state.
If the machine was set to STANDBY, it will revert to this state.
If the machine was set to TIMER, it will revert to this state.
If the machine was set to CONTINUOUS, it will revert to this state.
C o n ne c t i o n
The JEM ZR series™ machine provides 5-pin XLR connectors on the rear of the
machine for DMX connection.
For best results, use cable designed for high speed digital data transmission.
D M X f un c t i o n s
The JEM ZR series™ address setting must match the DMX address allocated to
it on your controller. To set the address, see “Setting the DMX base address” on
page 16. The JEM ZR series™ machine requires one DMX channel.
When the machine is at running temperature and is under DMX control it
displays DMX (+ the current DMX base address).
The DMX control values are shown in the table below.
