In the event that this breaker will not reset, contact CHAUVET for troubleshooting. The fixture may need to be serviced.

4. O PERATING Configuring the Starting Address Each fixture requires a starting address from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the starting address. For example, a fixture that uses seven DMX channels and is addressed to start on DMX channel 100, will read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106.

5. A PPENDIX DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required.
Warning! All haze machines are prone to clogging due to the thick consistency of the fog liquid and the high temperature at which it vaporizes. However, a properly maintained fog machine should provide years of reliable use. Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly replacement and repair charges.

If you choose to create your own cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.
