Fixture Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support. Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
3-Pin to 5-Pin Conversion Chart If you use a controller with a 5-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter. CHAUVET Model No: DMX5M, or DMX5F.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Operation Stand-Alone Mode (Sound-Active, Auto Mode): This mode allows a single unit to run to the beat of the music. 1) Set DIP switches position to Sound Active or Auto Mode. Mode Sound Active DIP switches 1-10= Off 2) The unit will react to the low frequencies of music via the internal microphone in Sound Active mode 3) Use the audio sensitivity knob on the back of the unit to make the unit more or less sensitive in Sound-Active mode.
Setting the Starting Address This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 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 6 DMX channels and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105.

5. APPENDIX DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance.
