Cleaning Element
Should the exterior of your Element require cleaning, you may gently wipe it with a dampened (not
dripping), non-abrasive paper towel or soft cloth.
If this does not clean the console sufficiently, you may apply some window cleaner (containing
ammonia is fine) to the cloth and repeat the process until clean.
Outputting DMX
In order to output levels from Element, you can either use the DMX ports on the back of the console,
or to output over a network, you may connect a Net3 gateway or Net2 node. If your devices receive
Net3 or ETCNet2 directly, no gateway or node is required.
Element has two DMX ports. To output, connect one 5 pin XLR cable per port. The first port will
default to outputting the first universe of DMX, addresses 1-512, and the second port to the second
universe, outputting addresses 513-1024. See
for information on
reconfiguring the DMX ports.
Nodes and gateways will function with Element out of the box without previous configuration.
However if custom configuration is required, you will need to use either NCE (Network
Configuration Editor) or GCE (Gateway Configuration Editor). GCE is installed on Element by
default and can be accessed in ECU>Settings>Maintenance>Gateway Configuration Editor
(GCE). NCE can be installed on the console or a Windows
®
PC for configuration.
For more information on Net3 gateways or Net2 nodes, see the product literature that accompanied
