Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to
customizing or creating a show. You can tailor your programming to suit a specific event. Whether it
is a wedding where a spot light may be required or a lead singer requiring a color solo, the
opportunities are endless. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture
independently.

1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector
of the first fixture.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin
connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then,
proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
Menu Functions
DMX-512 addressing
This mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start
address" from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data
on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 6 channels
of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101,
102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and notate
the start address selected for future reference.
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol than I suggest jumping
to the Appendix Section and read the heading
“DMX Primer”. It contains very useful information that
will help you understand its use.
