  • Page 26: Configuring The Device For Dmx Control

    For independent control, each i-6 must be assigned its own DMX start address. For example, if the first i-6 RGBW is set to 6ch CTC DMX mode with a start DMX address of 101, the following i-6 RGBW in the DMX chain should then be set to a DMX address of 107.

    Linear control provides uniform adjustment throughout the control action, whereas gamma corrected dimming pro- vides finer control at low light levels, where the eye is more sensitive to change. By default, the i-6 uses gamma cor- rected dimming. For a uniform response, set all fixtures to the same dimming curve.

  • Page 35: Cleaning

    CLEANING SGM fixtures with IP65 or IP66-rating do not need any cleaning procedures inside the fixture. However, cleaning the front lens may be needed to achieve the maximum light output after exposure to dust, sand, or dirt. The exterior housing can also be cleaned to get a better look. To maintain adequate cooling, fans must be cleaned periodically.
