The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller.
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the
first channel from which the Pixel Bar will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has max. 36 channels.
When using multiple Pixel Bars, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Pixel Bar should be 1(A001); the DMX address of the second Pixel
Bar should be 1+36=37 (A037); the DMX address of the third Pixel Bar should be 37+36=73 (A073), etc.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each Pixel Bar
correctly.
If two or more Pixel Bars are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing’ (menu d001)
Controlling:
After having addressed all Pixel Bars, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the Pixel Bar will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED “ on the control panel will not flash.
The problem may be:
- The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Pixel Bar.
- The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
