1. DMX Control Mode Operating in a DMX control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to customising or creating a show In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture and each fixture independently The RGB 252 uses 4 channels of control Enable the DMX control by setting dipswitch No 10 to the ON position Use dipswitches 1 9 to address each fixture accordingly Setting the DMX address The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller Each fixture requires a start address from 1 511 A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address For example a fixture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100 would read data from channels 100 101 102 103 104 105 and 106 Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap E g the next unit in the chain starts at 107 LED RGB 252 CONTROL OPTIONS Set the start address using the group of dip switches located usually on the back of the fixture Each dipswitch has an associated value Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will provide the start address Determining which switches to toggle ON given a specific start address can be accomplished in the following manner By subtracting the largest switch value possible from the selected start address until zero is achieved EXAMPLE STARTI2. 3 pin XLR female socket sRrotopole aus dvscic isi aaa DMX 512 UTSITT e DMX channels cccceeeeeeenceeeeeneeueeeeaes 4
