Ice Flow™ DMX Set Up
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and
controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the
controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels
from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA
“OUT” terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of
different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single
controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several
DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order
in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the
DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1
may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end,
or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address
of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to
that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Dip-switches in DMX mode: This unit uses dip switches to assign a
DMX address. Each dip switch represents a binary value.
Dip Switch 1 address equals 1
Dip Switch 2 address equals 2
Dip Switch 3 address equals 4
Dip Switch 4 address equals 8
Dip Switch 5 address equals 16
Dip Switch 6 address equals 32
Dip Switch 7 address equals 64
Dip Switch 8 address equals 128
Dip Switch 9 address equals 256

DMX CHANNEL
Figure 1
Each dip switch has a preset value. A specific DMX address is set by
combining the dip switches that sum your desired value. For example:
To achieve a DMX address of 21, combine dip switches 1, 3, and 5.
Sense dip switch 1 has a value of 1, dip switch 3 has a value of 4, and
dip switch 5 has a value of 16, the combination of the create a DMX
value of 21.
Set DMX address 21: Set DMX address 201:
Dip-switches # 1 = 1 Dip-switches # 1 = 1
3 = 4 4 = 8
5 = 16 7 = 64
= 21 8 = 128
= 201
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/
Slave Operation): The Ice Flow™ can be controlled via DMX-512
protocol. The Elation Professional® Ice Flow™ is a one channel DMX
unit. The DMX address is set on the rear panel of the Ice Flow™. Your
unit and your DMX controller require a standard
3-pin XLR connector for data input and data
output (Figure 1). If you are making your own
cables, be sure to use standard two conductor
shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at
almost all pro sound and lighting stores). Your
cables should be made with a male and female
XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also
remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained
and can not be split.
Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own
cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cableʼs shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield
conductor to come in contact with the XLRʼs outer casing. Grounding
the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
