6.1 DMX control

For operation with a DMX controller, set the num-
ber of channels and the DMX start address:
1) Set the number of channels (7 or 14 channels)
via the menu item
channels depends on the functions required
(refer to the table in chapter 8) and may also
depend on the number of control channels avail-
able on the controller .
2) Set the DMX start address via the menu item
. For separate control of all DMX-controlled
units, each unit must have its own start address .
Example: If the first DMX channel of the unit is
to be controlled by the light controller via DMX
address 5, set the start address on the unit to 5 .
All other DMX channels of the unit will be auto-
matically assigned to the subsequent addresses .
Example: In the 7-channel mode with start address 5,
the channels 1 to 7 are assigned to the addresses 5
to 11 . Address 12 is the next possible start address
available for the following DMX-controlled unit .
When the number of channels and the start ad-
dress have been set, the unit can be operated via
the DMX controller . A dot keeps permanently flash-
ing on the display to indicate that the unit is in the
"DMX control" mode and that a DMX signal is
available at the DMX input .
When a DMX signal is applied, the unit will not
automatically go to "DMX control" . To go to "DMX
control" from a different operating mode, call up
the menu item for the start address or the number
of channels and confirm the setting .
