    4.2 Control via X2-Transmitter To control the devices via radio connection, please read the instruction manual provided with the transmitter. 4.2.1 Sequence list The X2 Wave-Flamer has a number of pre-made sequences, allowing you to access certain sequences with the right channel and Boxnumber. Below, you can find the different set sequences and single ignitions.

    4.3 Control via DMX 512 Optionally, the X2 Wave-Flamer can be controlled by DMX 512. 6 DMX channels are needed. 4.3.1 DMX-Channels The followeing 6 DMX-Channels are needed for the X2 Wave-Flamer: Channel 1: Angle (Starting adress) • Channel 2: Speed (Starting adress +1) •...
  • Page 24 4.3.1.2 Channel 2: Speed (Starting adress +1) The second channel (starting adress +1) defines the speed of the device. It can be set anywhere from DMX value 0 to 255. (standing still to full speed). The speed is in raltion to time, and not power. This leads to a better synchronisation of the Flamers. This setting is not affected by "Fading", since a synchronisation can only be measured from a distance of about 8-9 DMX values (Channel1).
  • Page 25 4.3.1.3 Channel 3: Ignition (Starting adress +2) The third channel (starting adress +2) activates the actual ignition. If the DMX value on this channel is higher than 253, the projector will ignite. The DMX-value of this channel must fall below 254, before an ignition can be made again with the values 254 and 255.

    4.3.1.6 Channel 6: Mode (Starting adress +5) The sixth DMX channel is the Handling Mode. It allows you to set the device into Armed-Mode (DMX- value 50 to 200). The othe DMX values are the Test-Mode. Important: The device can only make ignitions in Armed-Mode.
