9. DMXA TRM

Enable or disable termination on the DMX A input.

Activates and deactivates a 120Ω termination resistor. DMX termination is indicated

on the LCD display when DMX is being received. When the DMX A input is not

terminated (DISABLED) the LCD display will read AXXXBXXX. When the DMX A

input is terminated (ENABLED) the LCD display will read

XXXBXXX.

ENABLED

Press EXECUTE to toggle termination from ENABLED to DISABLED.

DISABLED

Press EXECUTE to toggle termination from DISABLED to ENABLED.

Any change in the configuration is automatically saved.
NOTE: Ensure only the last (end-of-line) DMX receiving device is terminated!

10. DMXB TRM

Enable or disable termination on the DMX B input.

Activates and deactivates a 120Ω termination resistor. DMX termination is indicated

on the LCD display when DMX is being received. When the DMX B input is not

terminated (DISABLED) the LCD display will read AXXXBXXX. When the DMX B

input is terminated (ENABLED) the LCD display will read AXXX

XXX.

ENABLED

Press EXECUTE to toggle termination from ENABLED to DISABLED.

DISABLED

Press EXECUTE to toggle termination from DISABLED to ENABLED.

Any change in the configuration is automatically saved.
NOTE: Ensure only the last (end-of-line) DMX receiving device is terminated!

11. DMX O/P

Configure the on-board DMX protocol manager for offset or patch mode..

OFFSET mode is typically used for the majority of systems, and is the factory default.

OFFSET mode refers to the DMX start address, with each of the 96 dimmer (PWM)

outputs addressed sequentially from the DMX start address.

PATCH mode provides full flexibility for addressing each of the 96 dimmer (PWM)

outputs. Each of the 96 dimmer (PWM) outputs can be patched to (controlled from)

any DMX input channel from 001 to 512, from either or both of the DMX A and DMX B

inputs simultaneously

With DMX patch mode activated, any configuration within the ADDRESS, DMX

MODE, 2 RM SET and DC PATCH menus is ignored, and the DMX patch configured

within the DMXA PAT and DMXB PAT menus takes precedence.

When using the system in DMX patch mode, it is strongly recommended to printout

the patch using a hand held infrared printer (Johnson System Inc., Part Number: JS-IP).

Press EXECUTE to enter the menu and configure the DMX mode.

DISABLED

This menu is disabled to help prevent inadvertent changes. Proceed to enable.

ENABLED

Press and hold MENU (

) and MENU (

) at the same time for 4-5 seconds.

OFFSET

Press EXECUTE to toggle the DMX mode from OFFSET to PATCH.

PATCH

Press EXECUTE to toggle the DMX mode from PATCH to OFFSET.

Press ESCAPE or RESET to exit the menu.

Any change in the configuration is automatically saved.

12. DMXA PAT

Patch the 96 dimmer (PWM) outputs to any DMX A input channel.

There are two ways to configure the DMX patch. Each of the 96 dimmer (PWM)

outputs can be manually (MANUAL) patched to a DMX input channel, or patched in

blocks (BLOCK) of sequential dimmers and DMX channels.

For MANUAL patching, each of the dimmers are patched individually. First, the

dimmer (DIM) output is selected, and then any DMX input channel from 001 to 512 is

patched to the selected dimmer.

For BLOCK patching, a sequential range of dimmers are patched to a sequential

range of DMX channels. First, the first dimmer number (DIM#) in the block is selected,

then the DMX A start address (DMXA) for the block is selected, and then finally the

number of dimmers (#DIM) in the block is selected. For example, if DIM# is 001, DMX

is 001, and #DIM is 096, then all of the dimmer outputs, 001 thru 096 are addressed

sequentially to DMX channels 001 thru 096.
