channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent

out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by

setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the head of the fixture.

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different

address for each individual fixture. Be advised that setting all you fixtures to the same DMX

address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words, changing

the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the

channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of

each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected

fixture.

In the case of the Impression™, which is a 14 channel fixture, you should set the starting

DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 15 (14 + 1), the third unit to 29 (14 + 15),

and so on.

Note: During start-up the Impression™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data signal

is being received or not. If DMX data signal is being received, the display will show "A.XXX"

(XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a DMX signal the

display will flash "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address).

If your fixture is connected to a DMX controller and the display is flashing (not receiving a

DMX signal), please check the following:

- The 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected or is not

inserted completely into the DMX input jack.

-

The DMX controller could be switched off or defective.

-

A DMX cable or connector is defective.

-

A DMX terminator has not been inserted into the last fixture in your DMX chain.
