Set the product in DMX mode to control with a DMX controller. The product uses 3-pin DMX
cable.
1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.
2. Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input socket
on the product.
When selecting a DMX starting address, always consider the number of DMX channels used by
the fixture. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to
some of the product's channels.
The Swarm™ 4 FX uses up to 12 DMX channels in the 12-channel mode, 12CH, which means
the highest recommended DMX address for that personality is 501.
The Swarm™ 4 FX uses 2 DMX channels in the 2-channel mode, 02CH, which means the
highest recommended DMX address for that personality is 511.
