The fixtures are individually addressed
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 base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the
first channel from which the Explorer will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 24 channels.
When using multiple Explorers, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Explorer should be 1(A001); the DMX address of the second
Explorer should be 1+24=25(A025); the DMX address of the third Explorer should be 25+24=49(A049), etc.
Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each Explorer correctly.
If two or more Explorers are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under "Addressing' (menu
Controlling:
After having addressed the Explorer fixture, you may now start operating this device via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Explorer will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
there is no data received at the DMX-input.
The problem may be:
- The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Explorer.
