7. DMX Address Setting

When being used in conjunction with a DMX controller, each fixture must be set a specific

starting address. When receiving signal, fixture will receive channel control signals of this

address from the DMX controller.

For simplicity, the user can use the same address for multiple fixtures but this will result in

each fixture providing exactly the same output and fixtures with the same DMX address cannot

be individually controlled.

To control each fixture individually via DMX, each fixture must have its own unique DMX

address. As this fixture uses 13 DMX channels, each address must be at least 13 apart.

So for example – assuming the first fixture is DMX channel 1, the second fixture would need

to be on channel 14, then the 3

channel 27 and so on. Some DMX controllers may group

fixtures in lots of 16 channels – so in that case, fixture 1 on channel 1, fixture 2 on channel 17,

3 on 33, and so on. Refer to your DMX controllers' instruction manual on how best to manage

your DMX channel allocation.
