DMX-Mode
The device has two different DMX channel modes. The Control Board allows you, as described above, to
assign the DMX channel mode.
Addressing
Press the MENU-button until the display shows d001 or A001. You can now set the desired address via the
UP or DOWN buttons. Press ENTER to confirm. The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX fixture
address, which is defined as the first channel from which the FUTURELIGHT PRO Slim PAR-12 MK2 HCL
will respond to the controller.
Controlling:
After having addressed the PRO Slim PAR-12 MK2 HCL, you may now start operating it via your lighting
controller. Every DMX-channel has a different occupation with different features.
If you set, for example, the address in the 10 channel mode to channel 11, the device will use the channels
11 to 20 for control.
Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each FUTURELIGHT PRO
Slim PAR-12 MK2 HCL correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX-chain.
If several PRO Slim PAR-12 MK2 HCL are addressed similarly, they will work synchronically.
Note:
After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is
no data received, the starting address on the display will flash.
This situation can occur if:
- the XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the device.
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap
in the input connector.
Please see the following DMX protocol graphic for the respective channel values.
