In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture and each fixture independently. Setting the DMX address The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each fixture requires a “start address” from 1- 511.
Equinox Megabar DMX Set Up Notice: • Be sure to follow figures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour. Special Note: Line termination: • When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behaviour.
