  • Page 13: Dmx Basics

    DMX Setup DMX Basics DMX512 stands for digital multiplex 512. This means that 512 channels are controlled digitally through 1 data cable. A channel is a set of 255 steps that are assigned to control attributes in each light. This may be a color like red, green or blue, and intensity, strobe, pan/tilt or other attributes. Multiple sets of 512 “universes” may be used. Only 1 universe will travel on a DMX cable, but through networked DMX (Art-Net or sACN E1.31), many universes can travel over a network. DMX Wiring DMX works by connecting 1 or multiple lights to the output of a DMX lighting console or software with a DMX interface. DMX lights connect in what is called a “daisy-chain”. Your first DMX cable will plug it’s male DMX connector into the female DMX connector on your lighting console. The remaining female connector will then connect to the DMX input on your first light. You may then connect your next fixture to the output of your first light, and continue the chain. 32 Fixture Rule – DMX only allows you to connect up to 32 fixtures in a single daisy chain for signal strength. Sometimes, depending on the fixtures and cable length, this number is less (or more). TX6 LED 300 Beam – GAMMA LED Vision Page 13 of 23...
  • Page 14 DMX Cables can be 3-pin or 5-pin. These use the same type of data, and in the 5-pin only pins 1, 2, and 3 are used. The cable should be a 2 conductor, shielded cable of at least 110 ohms resistance. Microphone cable is not DMX cable. TX6 LED 300 Beam – GAMMA LED Vision Page 14 of 23...
  • Page 15 Please refer to the diagram below: For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise and reflections. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below: DMX Modes and Configuration The TX6 LED 300 Beam has multiple DMX modes, sometimes called “personalities”, “profiles”, or as we will use here “modes”. In general, modes with more DMX channels offer a greater level of control or options but take up more of your output channels on your lighting console or software. Modes with less DMX channels often offer less control, but may be plenty for your needs. Depending on your needs and control solution, you may not need channels for automated programs, strobes, or macros – your console may have great effects! In this case, you can use a lesser channel mode and fit more lights per DMX universe. TX6 LED 300 Beam – GAMMA LED Vision Page 15 of 23...

    3. Maintenance Routine Maintenance The following points have to be considered during the inspection: 1) All screws for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded. 2) There must not be any deformations on the housing, color lenses, fixations and installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing). 3) Mechanically moved parts must not show any traces of wearing and must not rotate with unbalances. 4) The electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed. In order to make the lights in good condition and extend the life time, we suggest a regular cleaning to the lights. 1) Clean the inside and outside lens each week to avoid the weakness of the lights due to accumulation of dust. 2) Clean the fan each week. 3) A detailed electric check by approved electrical engineer each three month, make sure that the circuit contacts are in good condition, prevent the poor contact of circuit from overheating. We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a moist, lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol solvents. There are no serviceable parts inside the device. Please refer to the instructions under “Installation instructions”. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local dealer.
