Setting DMX mode 1 or 2
Two DMX modes are available: DMX mode 1 (normal) and DMX mode 2
(extended). Mode 2 uses four extra DMX channels. Two of these
channels allow you to select pre-programmed pan, tilt and effects macros
and two channels allow you to set the speed of pan, tilt and effects
movement from the DMX controller.
The Mania SCX600/700 is supplied in DMX mode 2.
• The Mania SCX600 uses 7 channels in DMX mode 1, and 11 channels
in DMX mode 2.
• The Mania SCX700 uses 6 channels in DMX mode 1, and 10 channels
in DMX mode 2.
To toggle between DMX modes 1 and 2:
1. Apply power to the fixture and wait for the fixture to reset.
2. In the control panel, press the [Menu] button. Then use the [Up] and
[Down] buttons to scroll to
[Enter].
3. Use the [Up] and [Down] buttons to scroll between
and press [Enter] to save your setting.
Setting DMX addresses
If you use a DMX controller, you need to set the DMX address for each
fixture on the fixture's control panel. The DMX address, or start channel, is
the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller.
For individual control, each fixture must be assigned its own DMX address
and control channels. For example, if an SCX600 is set to DMX mode 2
and you give it DMX address 101, it will use channels 101 - 111 inclusive.
Channel 112 is available for the next fixture. An SCX700 in DMX mode 2
with address 101 will use channels 101 -110 inclusive. Channel 111 will be
available for the next fixture.
Fixtures with the same DMX address will receive the same instructions
and behave identically. Two fixtures with the same DMX address can be
set up so that one pans as a mirror image of the other. To achieve this,
use the settings in the control menu to invert the pan on one fixture (see
"Movement" on page 21).
