This is addressing the RED leds. If Red is to be in the static look, then use the ↑ or ↓ to increase the value of the red. Numbers are expressed in DMX values so 0 is no output and 255 is highest output. Press Enter to save the value. The screen will automatically advance to the next color Green.
10. DMX 512 Setting (address). Sets up the address for the dmx. Using the Menu button in the root menu go to DMX Press Enter to get into DMX and the display will read the current dmx channel. The display will read for example d.001 This means the fixture's current address is 1 To change it, use the ↑ or ↓ buttons to get to the correct address. 11. Fixture Personality. There are several different choices on how the fixture will operate.
13. Edit The Edit function allows the 10 of the inbuilt programs to be edited and customized. The programs that can be edited are PR01 through PR10. Each of the programs can have up to 99 scenes (SC01-SC99). Each scene has 5 components that can be edited on the fixture. They are the Red leds, the Green leds, the Blue leds, the time the scene is "played" and whether the scene has a crossfade or just "snaps" in. In the edit menu, the following is the flow diagram for programming.
14. Set. (Set has several Sub Menus which allow functions to be used). 1). UPLD. Custom programs can be uploaded from a master fixture into a slave fixture. First:- connect the fixtures to power and have a dmx cable going from the Master (dmx out) to the Slave (dmx in). Second:- using the Master fixture. Go through the Root Menu until Set. Press Enter and then use the ↑ or ↓ buttons to get to UPLD. Press Enter. The display will have 4 dots across the bottom. The password needs to be entered.
5).RGBW The RGBW setting allows the ability to calibrate the white achieved when mixing RGB. When RGBW is set to OFF, the output when Red, Green, and Blue is at maximum is 255 for all three colors. By definition this combination produces a white with a blue tinge which affects all other colors if cameras and other video equipment are "keyed" to this. When RGBW is set to ON, the output can be white balanced to whatever looks good on camera, for example.
16. CAL 2 When RGBW is turned on under the SET menu, then CAL2 will allow you to set up the white balance for the RGB components. To adjust the white balance, go through the Root Menu until CAL 2., the screen will read RGBW press enter again. The screen will display R255, use the ↑ or ↓ to set the Red component to the value required. Press Enter to save and the screen will automatically advance to the value for G (G255 for example).

18. Cleaning and maintenance. Now ignoring maintenance and cleaning is very good way of creating problems "down the road" and many companies and installations do just that. However the net result is, no matter what the fixture, premature failure! Changing the oil in a car most people do on a regular basis. So with the fixtures regular maintenance it an excellent practice, if you want the fixtures to last.
