- ７ - LXE700 wash
Projector DMX start address selection
All LXE 700 washes need be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct LXE
700 Wash
responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from
which LXE 700 Wash starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the Elektralite CP20 or
other DMX controller. The allocation of this starting address is done by setting the correct number on the
display located on the base of LXE700 Wash.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or group of fixtures, like all the LXE700 Washes in your
plot, or you can make different address for each individual fixture.
If you set the same address, all the fixtures will start to “listen” to the same control signal from the same
channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the
quantity of control channels of the fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only the
selected fixture.
In the case of this LXE 700 Wash, which is a 24 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the first
unit to 1, the second LXE 700 Wash to 25 (24 + 1), the third to 49 (25 + 24), and so on.
Note:
After switching on, LXE 700 wash will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If the data is received, the display will
show "A.001" or whatever the address is set to, like “A.025” If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display flashes "A001" with
the actually set address. This situation can occur if:
- the 5 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from the controller) is not connected to the input of LXE 700 Wash.
or
- the controller is switched off or defective.
or
- the cable or connector is defective
