Dmx Addressing - Coemar CF 1200 Hard Edge Instruction Manual

10. DMX addressing

Each CF 1200 Hard Edge utilises 20 channels of DMX 512 signal for com-
plete control.
To ensure that each projector accesses the correct signal, it is necessary to correctly
address each fixture. Any number between 1 and 495 can be generated via the mul-
tifunction panel of theCF 1200 Hard Edge.
This procedure must be carried out on every CF 1200 Hard Edge being used.
When powered up initially, each projector will show A001 which indicates DMX
address 1; a projector thus addressed will respond to commands on channels 1 to
20 from the DMX 512 controller. A second projector should be addressed as
21, a third as 41 and so on until the final CF 1200 Hard Edge has been
addressed.
Altering DMX addresses
1) Press the + or - button until the display shows the DMX required, the characters in
the display panel will flash to indicate that the selection is not stored in memory.
function display
2) Press the enter button to confirm your selection; the display will stop flashing
and the projector will now respond to the new DMX address.
3) To better understand the function of each channel, we refer you to section
12 "Control channel functions from a DMX 512 controller".
Important Note: Keeping the + or - button pressed will cause the display to alter
at increased speed, allowing a faster selection to be effected.
By pressing the - button, you may inadvertently select a DMX address which is not
being communicated to the fixture by the controller, for example 500. If this is the
case, the display will slow the data reception, (since it does not exist), and you will
note that it is slow to respond to your commands (for example altering an address or
requesting or confirming a reset). You may solve this problem by either sengin data
to this address, or by altering the incorrect DMX setting of the CF 1200 Hard
Edge in question.
