Alternative DMX Addressing Functions
Certain DMX addresses are reserved for special functions. Addresses 700 and
above can be used for setting the intensity level of the fixture. The second and
third address numbers set the intensity level. The intensity knob is ignored
when using these DMX addresses. See the following table for examples:
Adjust the Local Intensity
A local intensity knob is located on the track adapter (track-mounted fixture)
or on the driver box (portable fixture). See the illustration in Set the DMX
Address on the Fixture on page 15 .
On the canopy fixture (DMX variant only), the local intensity adjustment
control is located on the side of the canopy (next to the status LED). To adjust
the local intensity knob on the canopy fixture, you will need a small flat-head
screwdriver (jeweler’s screwdriver).
You can adjust the local intensity with or without DMX being present.
• When DMX is not present, you can control the intensity.
• When DMX is present, you can set the maximum light output. Dimming
will be proportional in relation to that setting. When the local intensity
is set to Off, the maximum light level over DMX is 100%.
• When DMX is lost and the local intensity is set to Off, the light will go
dark.
• When DMX is lost and the local intensity is set to a level greater than 0,
the light goes to the level of the local intensity setting.
