DMX Addressing
Push the tabs above or below the number
window to set the address.
(Valid addresses range from 001 to 512.)
The yellow light above the address block
will illuminate if a DMX signal is present.
Each Mega 4Bank DMX ballast operates
on 5 addresses.
After the DMX address is entered, the
ballast automatically assigns the next 4
addresses to lamps 2,3,4 and a 5
th
address
controls the STD setting. Programming the
5
th
address at full dimmer setting activates
the STD setting.
Note: When DMX cables are applied the
manual HO/STD select feature will be disabled.
To get manual control of the HO/STD feature
1)Unplug the DMX cable or 2) leave cables
plugged in and set address to ”000”.
There is a 5 second delay when switching
between DMX and Manual control.
Manual lamp switching is not affected by
DMX control.
The DMX Terminate Switch must be set
to open ( O ) on Ballasts within the DMX
chain.
Set to closed ( I ) when the Ballast is the
last DMX control device in the chain.
Note: When the last Ballast’s DMX
Terminate Switch 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.
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.)
