Projector DMX starting address selection
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture
responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the
fixture starts to ''listen'' to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation
of this starting address is achieved by setting the correct number on the display located on the base of the
device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures , or make different address for
each fixture individually.
If you set the same address, all the units 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 unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect
only the selected fixture.
In the case of the product, which is a 14 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the first unit
to 1, the second unit to 15 (14 + 1), the third to 29 (15 + 14), and so on.
Note:
The modes of DMX 512 data and lamp are shown via the display:

1. After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If the
data is received, the display will show "A.001" with the actually set address. If there is no data received
at the DMX-input, the display will flash "A001" with the actually set address.
This situation can occur if:
- the 5 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the device.
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are
swap in the input connector.
It's necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last lighting in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
2. If the lamp is on, the display will show "A00.1" with the actually set address. If the lamp is off, the
display will show "A001" with the actually set address.
