DMX-512 Start Address
The Start Address of a fixture is set using the “Address” mode in the Control Panel Menu.
Consult the manual of the system’s DMX512 controller to select a desirable addressing scheme
before addressing fixtures. Each fixture connected to the DMX-512 data link requires a Start
Address to indicate the first DMX channel containing data designated for that fixture, see DMX512 Background. Valid Start Addresses range from 1 to 512. Fixtures requiring more than one
channel for control will read subsequent channels up to the total number of channels required.
A fixture requiring five (5) channels of DMX, set to a Start Address of eleven (11), would read
data from channels: 11 and 12, 13, 14, 15. The next logical Start Address would be channel
16. Because all fixtures see the same data, fixtures may be set to any address without concern
to order in the DMX-512 chain or physical location. Choose a Start Address so the channels
used do not overlap with other fixtures. In some cases, it may be desirable to set two or more
same type fixtures to the same Start Address. In this case, the fixtures will be slaved together
and respond to the same data.
Example
Since these are the first fixtures added to the system, the first unit will be set to Start
Address=1. This fixture occupies DMX channels 1 thru 13. The next DMX channel
available for a Start Address is found by adding the previous fixture’s Start Address to its
channel requirement: 1+13=14. DMX channel 14 is the next available Start Address. In
this example, to maximize channel usage no empty channels are left between fixtures so
the second Start Address is set to DMX channel 14. The second fixture occupies DMX
channels 14 thru 26. Repeat the process for the remaining two fixtures: 14+13=27 and
27+13=40. Therefore, the four 13 channel fixtures have Start Addresses of 1, 14, 27 and
40. Repeat the technique once more for the next free channel in the system, 40+13=53.
Channels 53 thru 512 are available for expansion of the system.
Select Start Addresses for 4 fixtures each requiring 13 channels of DMX.

DMX-512 Background
DMX-512 is a digital data transmission standard developed by the United States Institute for
Theater Technology (USITT). It is designed to enable control of lighting equipment, originally
dimmers. DMX deals solely with the formatting of data for transmission and does not dictate
how the data is created or used.
Under DMX, signals are transmitted in much the same way a computer modem transmits data.
The Data, divided in to channels, is "Framed" using a start bit, high (1), eight data bits and
finally, two stop bits, both high (1). DMX uses no parity to check the integrity of the signal.
Instead, DMX relies on the ultra low probability of an error occurring in the same place when the
data is resent. The rate at which data is sent is fixed at 250k bps, almost four and a half times
faster that a 56k modem. This speed allows all data on a DMX chain to be updated more than
44 times every second.
The transmitted data follows a specific format. DMX allows for 512 channels each with eight
data bits, giving each channel the possibility of 256 values. When a data "Packet" is sent, all
channels are transmitted one after another. Even if the data on a specific channel has not been
changed, it must be sent. In a packet, a "start code" of all zeros is sent before the data to
identify the signal as a Standard DMX transmission. This start code is transparent to the user
and is handled by the controller.
The physical signals are transmitted using a twisted pair of wires and a common shield, a
configuration called Balanced. The controller and all receiving equipment are connected using a
“Daisy Chain" connection. The signal is jumped from the controller to a piece of DMX
equipment. From there, the signal is jumped to the next piece of equipment and so on until the
last piece of equipment is connected. No branches are allowed and the signal does not come
back to the controller. The final piece of equipment will have only one cable connection. As a
result, all equipment connected to the chain will see exactly the same signal whether it is first or
last. When connecting equipment, no particular attention needs to be paid to the order in which
the equipment is connected. Depending on the conditions and equipment, a line terminator may
be required. If there is any question, in most circumstances the addition of a terminator will not
degrade the signal. To make a terminator, add a 120-ohm resistor between the Signal Data
Negative and Signal Data Positive pins of a connector in the last piece of equipment in the
chain.
The DMX Standard calls for connections between DMX compatible equipment to be made using
5 pin XLR connectors. However, it is common to see fixtures with 3 pin XLR connectors as
these types of balanced or “Lo-Z” cables are common in the audio industry. In either case, pin
numbers are the same and carry the same signals.
Pin 1 - Signal Common (Shield)
Pin 2 - Signal Data Negative
Pin 3 - Signal Data Positive
Pin 4 - (not used)
Pin 5 - (not used)

For data, this fixture uses XLR (Cannon) type connectors and shielded twisted pair cable
approved for EIA-422/EIA485 use. Fixtures are connected in Daisy Chain topography
with only one data source and no branching. Systems using 3 or 5 pin DMX interfaces
can be accommodated by purchasing 3-to-5 pin adapters or building adapter cables.

Adapter 5-to-3 pin
Numbers designating each pin can be found on connectors. Converting between the two
XLR types is done in a pin-to-pin fashion. Connect the shields to pin 1, then connect pin
2 to pin 2 and pin 3 to pin 3. This is true for converting either 5 to 3 pin or 3 to 5 pin
regardless of either connector’s gender. Pins 4 and 5 are not used on the 5 pin XLR
connectors.

Data Terminator
A Data Terminator can be connected to the DATA OUT connection
of the last fixture to reduce the effects of noise in the signal; it is not
required for all installations. To make a Data Terminator, connect a
120-ohm ¼ watt resistor across pin 2, Data Negative (S-) and pin 3,
Data positive (S+). A qualified technician can determine if a Data
Terminator is needed.

Maintenance
Make sure fixture is cool and disconnected from power mains before any service.
Weekly operating hours and environmental conditions will establish how often the fixtures need cleaning. Fixtures
should be cleaned and inspected at least once a month to maintain optimum performance. Accumulation of dust
and fog residue increases heat build up, can lead to malfunctions, overheating and reduction in maximum light
output. This condition may cause undue stress on electronics, mechanical elements, reduce LED life, fixture life
and over all performance. Before conducting any maintenance, disconnect fixture from power mains.
1) Disconnect fixture from power mains.
2) Use a vacuum with a soft brush to remove dust collected on external vents and internal components. If using an
air compressor, use low pressures and extreme care to prevent damaging any internal parts or effects.
3) Vacuum dust buildup from fan intakes and check that all fans function correctly.
4) Clean all optical elements when the fixture is cold. Use a soft lint free cotton cloth or tissue and either Isopropyl
or Denatured Alcohol. Any cleaner approved for coated eyeglass lenses will also work.
5) Inspect clamps and safety cables to ensure fixture is secure and safe.
Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Cause / Solution
No Power
No response to DMX
Incorrectly responds to DMX
(Diagnostic technique for DMX issues: Set suspect
fixture’s Start Address the same as a correctly
functioning fixture. If both units then function correctly,
issue is programming)
No Light Output / Low Output
Erratic operation
Check power switch
Check for power on mains
Check main fuse and fuse holder
Check data cables
Check Start Address
Check that fixture isn’t in the Demo mode
Check Start Address
Check for overlapping addresses
Check fixture set up (Pan/Tilt Invert…)
Check Data cables (faults and proper wiring)
Check that both Shutter and Dimmer values are set
properly
Inspect fixture light path and verify no effects are
blocking beam
Remove from DMX, Control Panel to test in
demo/manual mode
Over temperature – Turn fixture off and allow to cool
then attempt again. If condition improves, check all
fans.
Check Pan/Tilt are not blocked or coming in contact
with anything during movement
See “Incorrectly responds to DMX”
Check for properly wired DMX cables
