DMX addresses must be set between 1 and 512. Each Irideon FPZ fixture must be considered a separate DMX device for the purpose of DMX line-loading calculations. The Irideon FPZ only has an intensity channel. Local intensity control knob Status LED and...
Page 21
Alternative DMX Addressing Functions Certain DMX addresses are reserved for special functions. Addresses 700 and above can be used for setting the intensity level of the fixture. The second and third address numbers set the intensity level. The intensity knob is ignored when using these DMX addresses.
Initial Power Up Track-Mount, Portable, and Canopy (DMX) Fixtures Control and configure the fixture over a DMX/RDM control network or directly from a connected computer running appropriate software. When controlling the fixture directly from a PC, a Gadget II interface or DMX/RDM gateway is required.
Adjustments Set the Angle with the Yoke Yoke locking knob Loosen the yoke locking knob. Do not remove the knob. Tilt the fixture to the desired position. Tighten the yoke locking knob to secure the position. Zoom and Focus the Beam Loosen the beam focus or zoom knob located under the barrel.
You can shape the beam using the four shutters or with a pattern. Shape the Beam with Shutters The Irideon FPZ has four shutters: left, right, top, and bottom. Each shutter can be pulled out or pushed in to create the desired beam shape.
Use the Integrated Media Holder The Irideon FPZ comes equipped with an integrated media holder, which is a metal frame used to hold color media (often referred to as gel) or diffusion in front of the lens. The media holder is equipped with a magnetic retaining clip that prevents the media from falling out.
Clean the Glass Lens WARNING: Do not use ammonia-based or other harsh commercial cleaners. Clean lens only as directed. Commercially available glass cleaning agents should be avoided as they may contain ammonia, other harsh chemical detergents, or abrasive agents. These cleaners may damage the glass surface and the Anti-Reflective coatings.
