DMX-controlled operation
You can control the projectors individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different
occupation with different features. The individual channels and their features are listed under DMX-protocol.
Addressing
The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX starting address, which is defined as the first channel from
which the PSX-575 will respond to the controller.
Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each PSX-575 correctly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX-chain.
If several PSX-575 are addressed similarly, they will work synchronically.
Press the Up/Down-buttons for setting the desired starting address. Now you can start operating the PSX-
575 via your lighting controller.
Note:
The modes of DMX 512 data and lamp are shown via the display:
1. After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If the
data is received, the display will show "A.001" with the actually set address. If there is no data received at
the DMX-input, the display will flash "A001" with the actually set address.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN 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.
Note:
It's necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last lighting in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
2. If the lamp is on, the the display will show "A00.1" with the actually set address. If the lamp is off, the the
display will show "A001" with the actually set address.
