ACT Fresnel 50 WW

Control Panel

DMX Addressing

The control panel on the back side of the fixture allows you to assign the fixture a DMX address, which is
the first channel with which the ACT Fresnel will respond to a DMX controller.
When using multiple ACT Fresnels, make sure you set the DMX addresses right. The device has 2 channels.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first ACT Fresnel should be 1 (001); the DMX address of the second
ACT Fresnel should be 1+2=3 (003); the DMX address of the third ACT Fresnel should be 3+2=5 (005), etc.
Make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each ACT Fresnel correctly.
If two or more ACT Fresnels are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all ACT Fresnels, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
After switching on, the ACT Fresnel will automatically detect whether DMX 512-data is received or not. If
there is no data received at the DMX input, the problem may be:
● The DMX cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the ACT Fresnel.
● The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert a termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure proper
transmission on the DMX data link.
