DMX Control Mode

The fixtures are individually addressed
controller. When a DMX signal is present, the d will blink.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)

DMX Addressing

The control panel on the front side of the Cyclone allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is
the first channel from which the Cyclone will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 4 channels.
When using multiple Cyclone, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Cyclone should be 1(A001); the DMX address of the second
Cyclone should be 1+4=5 (d005); the DMX address of the third Cyclone should be 5+4=9 (d009), etc.
Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each Cyclone
correctly.
If two or more Cyclone are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under "Addressing'
Controlling:
After having addressed all Cyclone fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Cyclone will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the "LED " on the control panel will not flash.
The problem may be:
• The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Cyclone.
• 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.
