Creation Of A Dmx-Chain; Configuration; Menu Structure - involight The Commander Série Mode D'emploi

For rack mounting, please note that the enclosure may be equipped with a built-in fan, or warm air can be easily
removed. The device must be screwed firmly into the rack with M6 screws so that it can't slip during transport.
Now connect the power supply to the "SHOWControl" and then to the power supply.

2.3 Creation of a DMX-Chain:

DMX is the abbreviation for digital multiplex and allows the digital control of several DMX devices via a common
control cable.
The connections between "LIGHTControl" and the devices must be made with 2-pin, shielded cables (DMX cable).
Microphone cables are not suitable for the transmission of DMX digital signals. 3-pin XLR connectors and
couplings are used as a connection.
A three-pin XLR socket serves as a DMX output, a three-pin XLR connector serves as a DMX input.

Connect the DMX input of the unit to the DMX output of a DMX controller or other DMX device. Connect the output
of the first DMX device to the input of the second and so on to form a series circuit
From a cable length of 300m or after 32 connected DMX devices, the signal should be amplified using a DMX
splitter / repeater (e.g., Involight DMXS4, DMXS6 or DMXS8) to ensure error-free data transmission.
IMPORTANT: A terminating resistor should be connected to the end of the chain at the last device in a DMX chain.
DMX end resistors are commercially available, but can also be built by themselves. A 120 Ohm resistor must be
soldered in an XLR connector between the two poles (+ and -).

2.4 Configuration:

Note: Basic knowledge is required for the DMX-512 standard!

2.4.1 Menu structure:

After switching on, the device first performs a short self test. The device then automatically switches to "MANUAL"
mode and is ready for operation.
1. To enter the menu settings, hold down the / MENU / key for 2 seconds. The display shows the first menu item
"01.Patch fixture".
2. Use the Pan wheel to navigate through the menu.
3. To enter the desired menu item, press / ENTER / -Key.
4. Use the Pan wheel to change the current settings and confirm with ENTER.
5. To cancel the setting process, briefly press the / ESC / -Key.
6. To exit the system settings and save your settings, press and hold the / MENU / -Key again for 2 seconds.
