Me2, Fog Generator
Operating Guide, Rev: A/a 17 / 30
DMX CONTROL
The MDG Me2 can be controlled via a DMX512-A USITT standard protocol.
WARNING
Activating the «DMX» mode («INTERFACE
MODE
DMX»), controls the MDG
Me2 only by DMX signal. If the DMX wire is unplugged or DMX signal is lost, the
generator initiates an automatic shutdown procedure.
Activating the «AUTO» mode («INTERFACE
MODE
AUTO»), controls MDG
Me2 by DMX, only if there is a signal. If the DMX wire is unplugged or DMX signal
is lost, the generator keeps the last DMX values.
WARNING
In «AUTO Mode», DMX commands always take precedence over Local commands.
The MDG Me2 provides a simple way to check if there is DMX signal:
The user can change the DMX Start Address in the Interface Menu («DMX Add»), and choose any
value between 1 and 510 (512, last DMX channel).
The generator uses three (3) DMX channels:
Channel 1 0 (0%) UNIT OFF 128 (50%) UNIT ON 255 (100%)
Channel 2 0 (0%) – 255 (100%), FOG OUTPUT (from minimum to maximum)
Channel 3 0 (0%) FOG OFF 128 (50%) FOG ON 255 (100%)
These channels have the same behaviour that the menus of the local interface (see Operating
instructions paragraph).
