DMX Linking

The Hurricane 1800 Flex works with a DMX controller. Information about DMX is in the CHAUVET DMX
Primer, which is available from the Chauvet website
DMX_Primer_rev05_WO.pdf.
Configuration (DMX)
Set the product in DMX mode to control with a DMX controller.
1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet, and turn the power switch to on.
2. Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input socket on the
product.

DMX Starting Address

When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the selected DMX
mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to some of the
product's channels.
The Hurricane 1800 Flex uses 1 DMX channel, which defines the highest configurable address to 512.
