Kino Flo Image 85/45 DMX Series User Manual

Page 13

Any theatrical lighting board with DMX512 protocol can be
used to individually turn on/off lamps in a Fixture.

Image 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.

The DMX Terminate Switch must be set to open ( O )
on Fixtures within the DMX chain.

Set to closed ( I ) when the Fixture is the last DMX control
device in the chain.

Note: When the last Fixture's DMX Term is set to “I”, it will
absorb all energy in the DMX line, ensuring DMX signals
are transmitted correctly. If a signal is not terminated, it is
called a “Reflected Wave”, and may create

transmission

errors by causing valid DMX signals to be canceled.

Image 85 - Each Image 85 fixture operates on 9 addresses.
After the first DMX address is entered, the Image 85 Fixture automatically
captures 9 addresses to lamps 1 – 8 and the 9

address to control the

HO/STD Select feature. For the sake of simplification, it is advisable to
select address sequences such as 10, 20, 30, 40 and so on.

The 9

address controls the HO/STD setting of all the lamps in the fixture.

A dimmer level of 0%~50% sets the lamps in the HO mode. Dimmer settings
from 50%~100% sets the lamps into the STD mode.

Image 45 - Each Image 45 fixture operates on 5 addresses.
After the first DMX address is entered, the Image 45 Fixture automatically
captures 5 addresses to lamps 1 – 4 and the 5

address to control the

HO/STD Select feature. For the sake of simplification, it is advisable to
select address sequences such as 10, 15, 20, 25 and so on.

The 5

address controls the HO/STD setting of all the lamps in the fixture.

A dimmer level of 0%~50% sets the lamps in the HO mode. Dimmer settings
from 50%~100% sets the lamps into the STD mode.

Note: Manual lamp switching, remote hand control as well as HO/STD switching
are disabled as soon as the DMX cables are applied. For Manual control with
DMX cables plugged in, set address to “000”. There is a 5 second delay when
switching between DMX and Manual control.

IMPORTANT!
The dimmer board/light console should have its channel set to LINEAR
light output response. (LINEAR response is the default setting on most
dimmer boards.)
