Fixture setup

This section explains the fixture characteristics that can be set that determine
how it can be controlled and will behave. These settings are made using the
menus available from the control panel and are retained even when the fixture
is powered off.
Only the most commonly used menu options for fixture setup are described in
this section. A complete map of the control menu structure and brief
explanations of their purposes can be found on page 25.

Using the control menus

To access the control menus, press the MENU button.
Navigate the menu structure using the ENTER, DOWN and UP buttons.
To select a menu option or to confirm a selection, press the ENTER button.
To return to a higher level in the menu structure without making a change,
press the MENU button.
To exit the control menus completely, press and hold the MENU button.

DMX addressing

The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to
receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture is controlled using
twelve (12) DMX channels. Each DMX controlled fixture must have a DMX
address set. For example, if a fixture has a DMX address of 13, then it uses
channels 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. The following
fixture in the DMX chain could then be set to a DMX address of 25.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control
channels. Two fixtures of the same type may share the same address if
identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic
purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse
pan and tilt options.
To set the fixture's DMX address:
1. In the control menu, select DMX ADDRESS and press ENTER to confirm.
The present address will blink in the display.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the address (1 to 501).
3. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.

Blackout or hold if DMX signal stops

To decide how the fixture behaves if the DMX signal is lost:
1. Select DMX STATE and press ENTER. The currently set mode will blink in
the display.
