Starting Address; General Troubleshooting; Returns Procedure - Chauvet DJ Obey 3 Mode D'emploi

Setting the Starting Address
This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a start address from 1~512. A
fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address.
For example, a fixture that uses six DMX channels and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data
from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap, and
note the start address selected for future reference.
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX control protocol, go to the Appendix section, and read the DMX
Primer from the Chauvet website www.chauvetlighting.com. It contains very useful information that will help you
understand its use.

Returns Procedure

Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing; call tags will not be issued. Package must be
clearly labeled with a Return Merchandize Authorization Number (RMA #). Products returned without the RMA # will be
refused. Call Chauvet and request an RMA # prior to shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial
number and a brief description of the cause for the return. Be sure to pack fixture properly; any shipping damage resulting
from inadequate packaging is the customer's responsibility. As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is
always a safe method to use.
