Be sure to pack the fixture properly. Any shipping damage resulting from inadequate packaging will be the customer’s responsibility. As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is always a safe method to use. CHAUVET® reserves the right to use its own discretion to repair or replace returned product(s). Claims The carrier is responsible for any damage incurred during shipping to this product or any part that shipped with it.
DMX Primer The USITT DMX512-A data transmission protocol (DMX, from now on) is based on the EIA-485 standard and it has 512 channels. Any DMX compatible fixture will require one or more consecutive DMX channels to operate. Because of the many different types of DMX compatible fixtures, they may vary in the total number of channels they require.
Despite their apparent similarities, data cables are electrically different from standard microphone cable because they can carry high frequency digital signals and are less prone to electromagnetic interference. You can purchase CHAUVET® certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or make your own DMX cable.
