AUTO TERMINATE FEATURE

The Celeb 400 DMX fixtures have an

AUTO

TERMINATE feature. The last fixture that

does not have an XLR cable attached to the

DMX “Out” port will automatically terminate.

Any theatrical lighting board with DMX512

protocol can be used to control the Celeb 400

DMX fixture. The fixtures can be jumpered

using the IN and OUT ports. As many as 100

fixtures can be jumpered on one chain as long

as the DMX cable run remains under 1000 feet

or 40 x 25ft DMX cables.

Note: When operating fixtures at

great distances from the dimmer

board, it is recommended to use

Opto-Isolators to provide DMX

signal amplification.

Kelvin Color Temperature – Dimmer level

When DMX is applied, the DMX signal will override the manual settings and the

Celeb Kelvin temperature will default to 5500K and dim setting will be at 100%.

Sliding the fader on the 1st channel will lower the light level. Sliding the fader on the

2nd channel will lower the Kelvin from 5500K to 2700K. (See chart on the following

page for approximate Kelvin dimmer levels.). The fixture may respond ± 4 slider

channels, depending on the dimmer board.

All manual controls are disabled once the

DMX cable is applied and DMX is turned on.

Note: To regain manual control with the DMX

cable plugged in, set the DMX address to “0”.

DMX Kelvin Dimmer Control

Note: All Kelvin indicator lights will turn green if a valid DMX signal is present.

If a fixture loses its DMX signal, it will hold its last DMX command.

For this reason, it is important to turn a fixture off using the DMX commands.

For example, if you try to turn off the lights by turning off the dimmer board, the lights

will remember their last DMX command and stay on. The fixtures require a DMX “Off”

or “Black-Out” command in order to turn off.
