Helix M1000 Q4 Mobile
Control Panel
DMX Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the 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 back side of the device allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is
the first channel from which the Helix will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 10 channels.
When using multiple Helixes make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Helix should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second Helix should
be 1+10=11 (011); the DMX address of the third Helix should be 11+10=21 (021), etc. Please, be sure that
you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Helix correctly. If two or more Helixes
are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Helix fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the Helix will automatically detect whether DMX-512 data is received or not. The
problem may be:
●
The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Helix.
●
The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is 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.
Display Off after 30 seconds
When no button is pressed for 30 seconds, the display will turn off.
To unlock the display, you have to press and hold down the MODE and SET buttons for 3 seconds. Once
you have pressed the buttons, the display will light up.
