Address Setting - ACME PAGEANT 300ZR II User Manual

3. Connect the unit together in a `daisy chain` by XLR plug from the output of the unit to the
input of the next unit. The cable can not branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX 512 is a very
high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can
easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
4. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when
one of the units' power is disconnected.
5. Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller. The
address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
6. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
7. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+), Pin 4/Pin 5: Not used.

4.2 Address Setting

If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from 1 to
512 so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press MENU button to enter menu mode, select DMX Functions, press the ENTER button to
confirm, use the UP/DOWN button to select DMX Address, press the ENTER button to confirm,
the present address will blink on the display, use the UP/DOWN button to adjust the address from
001 to 512, and press the ENTER button to store. Press the MENU button back to the last menu or
let the unit idle 7 seconds to exit menu mode.
