Operating instructions

PAGE 9 www.rosco.com DIGITAL/DMX INSTRUCTIONS
The Rosco Delta 6000 has the option to be operated from a lighting control console using
USITT DMX 512/1990.
Attaching DMX cable: Plug a standard 5-pin DMX cable to the connection marked DMX IN
at the rear of the base unit. Note that the DMX signal can pass through to another device by
plugging another cable into the DMX OUT plug. Note: Like any DMX controlled device, if
the Delta 6000 is the last device in the DMX line then a terminator plug must be plugged into
the DMX OUT connection.
Setting the DMX address: With the Operation Menu displayed. push the ENTER button
until the “SET DMX” menu is displayed on the LCD. Push an ARROW button so that
“YES” is blinking. Turn the JOG WHEEL until the desired DMX address is displayed. Turn
the JOG WHEEL clockwise to display higher numbers and counterclockwise for lower
numbers. Note: After 512, the channels will go back to 1 so when going from a low number
to a high number, the JOG WHEEL can be turned counterclockwise.
Saving the DMX address: When the desired channel is displayed push the ENTER button
and the LCD will display “SAVE SETTINGS”. To keep the DMX channel settings push an
ARROW button until ”YES” is blinking then push the ENTER button. If the DMX channel
settings are not to be kept, push an ARROW button until NO is blinking. Once the DMX
address is saved, the Delta 6000 will automatically be set to run from DMX.
Operating the unit: With the Operation Menu displayed and the Delta 6000 in DMX mode
(see above), turn the machine on at the remote by pushing the POWER button. Once the
remote reads “READY” and the Delta is in DMX mode, the unit will receive signals from the
lighting console. When the selected channel has a non-zero value at the light board, the Delta
will make fog. The percentage reading at the light board corresponds to the output. (i.e., if the
channel at the light board is set at “75%”, the Delta will run at a volume of 75%.) To stop
fogging, set the channel to zero. The selected channel can be written into any cue.
IMPORTANT NOTE: While in DMX Mode the Delta 6000 can also be operated manually
or, if timers have been set, in the Timer Mode. The Timer Mode will supersede the DMX
Mode and the Manual Mode will supersede the Timer Mode. When “YES” is answered to the
“SAVE SETTINGS?” message, the Digital DMX Remote will only remember the last
settings and will erase any previous settings. To set timers and DMX, both settings must be
entered and then the settings should be saved.
