DMX Operation:
When a DMX cable is connected and is transmitting DMX signal from a DMX controller,
the unit will indicate that that DMX is being received by turning on the DMX present indicator in the display.
If a unit is started up without DMX present it will start up in manual mode, but will switch to DMX
mode as soon as a DMX signal is detected.
The unit will stay in DMX mode even if DMX signal is lost. The behavior of the the unit in case of the signal
loss can be set in the menu under Mode - noDMX see below.
Note: Beware, when using Strobe Lenght, that if the Strobe Lenght is egual to or longer than
the flash and interval between flashes, the unit will not strobe.
If maximum strobe length is used the fastest strobe possible will be aprox. 17 ( 7% )
Note: Beware, when setting the DMX adress, that the last possible adress is determined by the
number of channels the fixtures needs for the modes that have been set.
Last possible adress:
8bit - strobe OFF :512, 8bit - strobe ON :510, 16bit - strobe OFF :511, 16bit - Strobe ON :509
IF DMX adress is first set at 512 and then the modes are changed, the DMX adress remains set
at 512 and you need to manually change to the last possible adress. Hint: If you go to adress 001
and then back, the fixture will update the last possible adress. Remember to press enter to save.
