Set the product in DMX mode to control with a DMX controller.
1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.
2. Turn the product on.
3. Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input
socket on the product.
The SlimPAR™ 56 IRC IP has two DMX personalities, a 3-channel mode for basic control
and a 7-channel mode with more advanced control over the lights.
The SlimPAR™ 56 IRC IP uses up to 7 DMX channels in its 7-channel DMX mode, which
defines the highest configurable address to 506.
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels
the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could
restrict the access to some of the product's channels.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, you may refer to the DMX Primer at
www.chauvetlighting.com.
To select the DMX personality, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 3-CH or 7CH shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> to choose your DMX personality when it appears on the display.
To then choose your starting address:
1. The display should show d001 once you've selected your DMX personality using the
steps above.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
3. Press <ENTER>.
