5. DMX512 Address Setting
A. By LED Display Panel
1. Each fixture needs to have an address setting to receive the data sent from the controller. The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1). The address, also know as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions the controller.
2. The fixture uses six channels. (Fixture 1 = 1, F ixture 2 = 7, F ixture 3 = 13, Fixture 4 = 19, Fixture…)
3. No need to turn the fixture off when you cha nge the DMX address, as ne w DMX address setting will be effected at once. Every time you turn the fixture on, it will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built-in programs.
B. By CA-T DMX TESTER
The fixture can be set the DMX address remotely by CA-T DMX TESTER. Please refer to the CA-T user manual to set the DMX address to the fixture.
10A
C. By Universal DMX controller
The fixtures can be remote setting DMX address by universal DMX controller. First, programming two scenes into one chase and then link the fixtures to the universal DMX controller. When you run the chase, all series fixtures will set start DMX address automatically.
In the two scenes, Ch1 and Ch2 for auto DMX address setting mode, the values will never change. Ch3 and Ch4 for setting the DMX address, Ch3 or Ch4 value must be setting value together. Ch3 will be only set 0 or 1 and Ch4 will be set from 0 to 255.
DMX start address = (Ch3 x 256) + Ch4 + 1
For example 1
Setting the four fixtures with DMX start address = 1
1. Edit the scene 1 Ch1=0, Ch2=255, Ch3=0, Ch4=0
2. Edit the scene 2 Ch1=255, Ch2=0, Ch3=0, Ch4=0
3. Programming two scenes into a chase and link the fixtures to the universal DMX controller.
4. Running the chase and all series fixtures will be setting start DMX address automatically.
For example 2
Setting the four fixtures with DMX start address = 10
1. Edit the scene 1 Ch1=0, Ch2=255, Ch3=0, Ch4=9
2. Edit the scene 2 Ch1=255, Ch2=0, Ch3=0, Ch4=9
3. Programming two scenes into a chase and link the fixtures to the universal DMX controller.
4. Running the chase and all series fixtures will be setting start DMX address automatically.
For example 3
Setting the four fixtures DMX start address = 257
1. Edit the scene 1 Ch1=0, Ch2=255, Ch3=1, Ch4=0
2. Edit the scene 2 Ch1=255,Ch2=0, Ch3=1, Ch4=0
3. Programming two scenes into a chase and link the fixtures to the universal DMX controller.
4. Running the chase and all series fixtures will be setting start DMX address automatically.

6. How to control the fixture
There are three ways to set-up the DMX address:
A. Universal DMX controller B. Master/Slave operation C. Easy controller (by CA-8)
A. Universal DMX controller
The user need to set the lighting channel mode first while control by universal DMX controller. The fixture has four kinds of channel modes (6-ch, 9-ch, 15-ch, 27-ch, 24-ch). It can set the channel mode from its LED display panel. Please refer to the following diagram to use your controller to activate the fixture.
12A
13A
B. Master/Slave operation
The fixtures will allow you to link others fixtures together and operate without a contr oller. In Master/Slave mode, the first fixture will control the others to give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is good when you want an instant show. The first unit it’s DMX input cable will have nothing connect it, and the other fixtures will be set in slave mode automatically. Their DMX input cables connect the last fixture DMX output cable (daisy chain). Any fixture can act as a Master or as a Slave. Please refer to the following diagram to link the others fixtures.
C. Easy Controller (by CA-8)
The easy remote control is used only in master/slave mode. There is a terminator for connect the easy controller inside the fixture. By connecting the cable into DMX IN waterproof cable entry gland to the CA-8 terminator of the first fixture, you will find that the remote control on the first fixture will control all the other fixtures for Stand by, Function and Mode functions.

7. DMX512 Connection
The DMX 512 is widely used in intelligent lighting control, with a maximum of 512 channels.
1. Connect the unit together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the unit to the input of the next unit. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y” cable. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system
2. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit when no power is connected to the fixture.
3. At last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator to reduce signal errors. Solder a 120-ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
4. Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller. The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
5. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pins XLR. 3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+) 5pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)

8. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.
Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. Always dry the parts carefully. Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every
30/60 days.
