Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed --
on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the TriFlood allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is
the first channel from which the TriFlood will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has
4
channels.
When using multiple TriFloods, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first TriFlood should be
1(A001)
; the DMX address of the second TriFlood
should be
1+4=5 (A005
); the DMX address of the third TriFlood should be
5+4=9 (A009)
, etc.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each TriFlood correctly.
If two or more TriFloods are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing’ (menu )
Controlling:
After having addressed all TriFlood fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the TriFlood will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
The problem may be:
- The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the TriFlood.
- The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note:
It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
