DMX Protocol
The City Painter 1800 can be operated with a controller in control mode or without the controller in stand-
alone mode.
Control Mode

DMX Addressing

The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the
first channel from which the City Painter will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 6 channels.
When using multiple City Painters, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first City Painter should be 0(000); the DMX address of the second City
Painter should be 0+6=6 (006); the DMX address of the third City Painter should be 6+6=12(012), the DMX
address of the fourth City Painter should be 12+6=18(018), etc.
Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each City Painter correctly.
If two or more City Painters are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under "DMX 512 Mode".
Controlling:
After having addressed all City Painter fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the city Painter will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
If the device doesn't work with DMX, the problem may be:
- The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the City Painter.
- 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's necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
