DMX Control Mode

The fixtures are individually addressed
controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)

DMX Addressing

The control panel on the front side of the LED Par 56 Short Pro allows you to assign the DMX fixture
address, which is the first channel from which the LED Par 56 Short Pro will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 6 channels.
When using multiple LED Pars, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first LED Par 56 Short Pro should be 1(001); the DMX address of the
second LED Par 56 Short Pro should be 1+6=7 (007); the DMX address of the third LED Par 56 Short Pro
should be 7+6=13 (013), etc. Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to
control each LED Par 56 Short Pro correctly.
If two or more LED Pars are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all LED Par 56 Short Pro fixtures, you may now start operating these via your
lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the LED Par 56 Short Pro will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is
received or not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the "LED " on the control panel will not
flash.
The problem may be:
• The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the LED Par 56 Short Pro.
• The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It's necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
