DMX Linking
You can link the Xeno™ 2500 to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial
connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the Xeno™ 2500
, you can
control each individually with a single DMX controller.
DMX Modes
The Xeno™ 2500 uses the standard DMX data connection for the 3- and 4-channel DMX
modes.
• Refer to Introduction for a brief description of these modes.
• Refer to Operation to learn how to configure the Xeno™ 2500 to work in these
modes.
• The DMX Values section provides detailed information about DMX modes.
Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a Xeno™ 2500 (the “master product”) to control one or
more Xeno™ 2500s (the “slave products”) without a DMX controller. One Xeno™ 2500
becomes the master product when running a Standalone Flash
program, or by being in
Sound-Active mode.
You must configure each slave product’s control pa
nel to operate in SLAVE mode.
During Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master
product.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave products.
If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards,
Master/Slave connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX
controller, download the DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website:

Lamp Replacement
The Xeno™ 2500 is equipped with a 2,500-watt Xenon lamp. Replacement lamps may
be ordered from CHAUVET®. Follow the procedure below to safely change the
Xeno™
2500 lamp.
Disconnect the product from the AC power before opening. DO NOT change lamp
while product is plugged into power! Serious personal injury can occur.
Procedure
1. Turn the product off and disconnect it from power. Wait at least 15 minutes for the
lamp to cool down.
2. Remove both side covers by removing 4 Phillips-head screws.
3. Side A has a single wire from the lamp connected to a terminal block. Unscrew this
wire from the terminal block and note where it was connected. You will need to
install the new lamp in the same terminal.
