PERSONALITY - Status Settings - Address Via DMX
When ON, define the desired DMX address via an external controller.
1. Connect the fixture to the external controller and power ON.
2. Set the DMX value of Channel 1 on the controller to (7).
3. Set the DMX value of Channel 2 on the controller to (7) or (8).
When set to (7), the DMX address can be set between (1) and (255).
When set to (8), the DMX address can be set between (256) and (511).
4. Using Channel 3 on the controller set the desired DMX address of the fixture.
Example 1:
If the desired DMX address is 57, set Channel 1 to a value of (7), set Channel 2 to
a value of (7), and then set Channel 3 to a value of (57).
Example 2:
If the desired DMX address is 420, set Channel 1 to a value of (7), set Channel 2 to
a value of (8), and then set Channel 3 to a value of (164). (256+164=420)
5. After setting Channel 3 to the desired DMX address value, wait for approximately
20 seconds for the fixture to complete the address reset function.
PERSONALITY – Service Setting - RDM PID
Select various submenus via RDM.
RDM stands for "Remote Device Management", which provides the ability to control
the device remotely while connected to a DMX-bus. ANSI E1.20-2006 by ESTA
specifies the RDM standard as an extension of the DMX512 protocol. Manual settings
like adjusting the DMX starting address are no longer needed. This is especially useful
when the device is installed in a remote area.
RDM ready and conventional DMX devices can be operated in one DMX line. The
RDM protocol sends its own packages in the DMX512 data feed and does not
influence conventional devices. If DMX splitters are used and RDM control is to be
used, these splitters must support RDM. The number and type of RDM parameters
depend on the RDM controller being used.
