DMX Mode
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of
communication between intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX
controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the
xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to
xture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on
all DMX xtures.
The ICON is a DMX enabled xture and the DMX mode and DMX
address settings are controlled via the Digital control panel. It also
carries the standard 3-pin XLR connections for DMX use.
To set your xture for use with a universal DMX controller:
1. Press MENU until "Addr" is displayed
2. Press ENTER
3. Display will show "A_ _ _ " (number)
4. Choose between A001 - A512
5. Press ENTER to conrm your choice
Your icon is now set at the DMX value you chose on the DMX uni-
verse.
Please consult the manual of your DMX controller for more information on addressing xtures. See Channel Cong table at the rear of
the manual

other ICONS will copy it. This is achieved by linking each ICON together using 3 PIN XLR cables and the DMX ports found at the rear.
