Page 4: Operating Instructions
Operating instructions DMX channel selection: Operating in a DMX control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to customising or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture and each fixture independently. To access the DMX channel mode plug in the fixture via the XLR connections to a DMX controller. Set your desired DMX address following the set-up specifications that come with your DMX controller. 6 channel mode: Channel Value Function 0-255 Red (0: low brightness, 255: high brightness) 0-255 Green (0: low brightness, 255: high brightness) 0-255 Blue (0: low brightness, 255: high brightness) Blackout 8-255 Colour macro 0-15 Blackout 16-255 Strobe 0-31 Blackout 32-63 Dimming (32: dim, 63: bright) 64-95 Dimming (64: bright, 96: dim) 96-127 Dimming (96: dim, 112: bright, 127: dim) 128-159 Colour mixing 160-191 3 Colour change 192-223 7 Colour change... -
Page 5: Master/Slave Mode
Operating instructions Sound active mode: To access this mode plug the fixture in and put dipswitch #10 in the “ON” position. The fixture will now react to sound. To exit this mode put the dipswitch in the “OFF” position. Auto mode: To access this mode plug the fixture in and put dipswitch #9 and 10 in the “ON” position. The fixture will now chase through the colours. To adjust the speed put the dipswitches #1 to 7 in the “ON” position (1 being the slowest, 7 being the fastest). To exit this mode put the dipswitches in the “OFF” position. RGB mode: To access this mode plug the fixture in and put dipswitch #8, 9 and 10 in the “ON” position. Dipswitch #1 placed in the “ON” position will project red at 25% intensity, whilst dipswitch #2 will project at 50% intensity. Combining both dipswitches #1 and 2 will project red at 100% intensity. Dipswitch #3 placed in the “ON” position will project green at 25% intensity, whilst dipswitch #4 will project at 50% intensity. Combining both dipswitches #3 and 4 will project green at 100% intensity. Dipswitch #5 placed in the “ON” position will project blue at 25% intensity, whilst dipswitch #7 will project at 50% intensity. Combining both dipswitches #5 and 6 will project blue at 100% intensity. To exit this mode put the dipswitches in the “OFF” position. Master/slave mode: For master/slave operation, set the first fixture (master) into sound, auto or RGB mode. Now set the remaining fixtures into slave mode by setting dipswitch 1 to the “ON” position and all other dipswitches to the “OFF” position. To exit this mode put the dipswitches in the “OFF” position. www.prolight.co.uk Party Par User Manual... -
Page 6: Dmx Setup
DMX setup Setting the DMX address: The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each fixture requires a “start address” from 1- 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 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100,101,102,103,104,105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107. DMX 512: DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal). DMX linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain. DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation): This fixture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input/output, see image below. Further DMX cables can be purchased from all good sound and lighting suppliers or Pro Light Concepts dealers. -
Page 7: Line Termination
DMX setup Notice: Be sure to follow the diagrams below when making your own cables. Do not connect the cables shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLRs outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour. Special note: Line termination: When longer runs of cable are used, Termination reduces signal transmission you may need to use a terminator on problems and interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal, the last unit to avoid erratic behaviour. (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between pin 2 Using a cable terminator will decrease (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture. the possibilities of erratic behaviour. (3-pin - Order ref: CABL90, 5-pin - Order ref: CABL89) 5-pin XLR DMX connectors: Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The diagram below details the correct cable conversion. -
