Operation
Exterior 50 & 100 Luminaires can be operated using a DMX controller or
set up to display a default scene that does not require DMX control.
If a Luminaire has been set up to display a default scene, it will display it
as soon as power is applied, but if DMX commands are sent to a
Luminaire, they override its default scene display.
Ambient temperatures
The Exterior 50 & 100 system – apart from the US model PSU for use in
North America – can be operated at ambient temperatures from 40° C
(40° F) to 45° C (113° F). The US model PSU for use in North America
can be operated at ambient temperatures from 40° C (40° F) to 40° C
(104° F). Do not operate devices outside their permitted temperature
range.
DMX control
The industry-standard DMX system allows remote control of an Exterior
50 & 100 installation over the DMX data link using a DMX controller or a
PC running DMX controller software such as the Martin M-PC™
application. If Luminaires have been set up with individual DMX
addresses, they can be controlled individually.
The section "DMX protocols" on page 73 gives details of the control
options available using DMX.
DMX channels in Raw and Calibrated modes
In RGBW Luminaires:
• RGBW control is available on four DMX channels when the Luminaire is
set to Raw mode.
• RGB control is available on three DMX channels when the Luminaire is
set to Calibrated mode.
When an RGBW Luminaire is set to Calibrated mode, white LED intensity
is added automatically to match the color saturation and intensity levels
set on the three RGB channels. Setting all three channels to 100% gives
maximum intensity white, with all LEDs – including white – at their
calibrated maximum.
In CW, NW and WW Luminaires, white LED intensity control is available
on one DMX channel in both Raw and Calibrated modes.
