Installation and Setup

Setting the DMX Start Channel

Each Cyberlight 2.0 fixture requires a block of consecutive channels on a 512-Channel DMX link.

To set the Start Channel on an Cyberlight 2.0 fixture:

1. Access the fixture's menu system via the dot matrix display on the fixture's front panel. For

a detailed description of the menu system, see Chapter 3: The Menu System on page 15.

MENU button unlocks the menu

and backs through menu levels

2. To unlock the menu, press and hold the <Menu> button until AddR appears on the LED

display. Press the <Enter> button to select.

3. The display will show the start channel currently assigned to the fixture.

4. Use the <Up> and <Down> arrow buttons to select a valid DMX start channel from 0-485.

The display will flash a new option ready for selection. For more information on addressing

your fixture, see

5. Press the <Enter> button to store the new DMX Start channel. The display will stop flashing

when a new option is entered.

When setting the Start channel on a fixture, remember:

• A fixture's physical location on the link does not have to coincide with the order of channel

range assignments in the link.

• The fixture's channel range must not overlap any other device's channel range on the link.

When two devices on the same DMX link have overlapping channel ranges, one or both

devices will be disabled or behave erratically. The single exception would be if two or more

fixtures need to respond to controller commands in exactly the same way. In that case,

those fixtures must be the same type and must share the entire channel range.

A DMX controller can shut down the fixture remotely with the Shutdown option in the Control

Channel or you can simply disconnect from power. The Cyberlight 2.0 fixture automatically

shuts down in the event of DMX data loss longer than five minutes.
