To chase one lamp through multiple fixtures:
1) Set each ballast with its own address: 001, 006, 011, 016 and so on.
2) Program address 005, 010, 015, etc. for 2ft operation.
3) Program lamp sequence to chase from 001 through 004, 006-009,
011-014 and so on.
To chase same lamp position simultaneously through multiple fixtures:
1) For each Flathead 80 fixture, set Ballast 1 address to 001
(or a common address) and set Ballast 2 address to 006
(or a common address).
2) Program address 005, 010, 015, etc. for 2ft operation.
3) Program lamps to chase from address 001-004 and 006-009.
Note: Each ballast (455 Series) is automatically “terminated” for
proper DMX signals.
Auto Terminate Feature
Select/DMX 4Bank ballasts (455 Series) have an
“ AUTO TERMINATE” feature. The last ballast that
does not have an XLR cable attached to the DMX
“Out” port will automatically terminate.
Any theatrical lighting board with DMX 512 protocol
can be used to individually turn on/off lamps in a
fixture.
Select/DMX 4Bank ballasts can be jumpered using the
IN and OUT ports. As many as 100 ballasts 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 ballasts at great distances from the dimmer board,
it is recommended to use Opto-Isolators to provide DMX signal amplification.
