Elation PLATINUM BEAM 15R Manual page 22

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different
address for each individual fixture. Be advised that setting all you fixtures to the same
DMX address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words,
changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to "listen" to the
channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels)
of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the
selected fixture.
In the case of the Platinum Beam 15R™, which is a 16 channel fixture (default), you
should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 17 (16 + 1),
the third unit to 23 (16 + 17), and so on.
Note: During start-up the Platinum Beam 15R™ will automatically detect whether a DMX
data signal is being received or not. If DMX data signal is being received, the display will
show "Address XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not
receiving a DMX signal the display will flash. If your fixture is connected to a DMX
controller and the display is flashing (not receiving a DMX signal), please check the
following:
- The 3-PIN or 5-PIN XLR input plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not
connected or is not inserted completely into the DMX input jack of the fixture.
The DMX controller is switched off or defective.
-
The DMX cable or connector is defective.
-
A DMX terminator has been inserted into the last fixture in your DMX chain.
