Returns Procedure Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued. Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #). Products returned without an RMA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET® and request RMA # prior to shipping the product. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number and a brief description of the cause for the return.
DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A product capable of receiving DMX will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the product that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable products and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should never overlap.
Data Cabling To link products together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET® certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable, use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference. DMX Data Cable Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485 applications.
Product Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more products using a DMX controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more products set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the products on a serial data link determines the number of products the data link can support. Products on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
