DMX Control Mode

Operating in a DMX control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes

to customising or creating a show. 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. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the

data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7

channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from

channels: 100,101,102,103,104,105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used

do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.

DMX-512:

• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between

intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the

controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the

DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have

a data “out” terminal).

DMX Linking:

• DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together

and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant.

To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the

shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not

influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be

placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a

fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to

address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):

• The Equinox Megabar can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the

back of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for

data input/output (figure 1).

Figure 1

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

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.

Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90) will decrease the possibilities of erratic

behaviour.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:

• Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-Pin

XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin

XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The Chart below details the

correct cable conversion.

Termination reduces signal transmission problems

and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a

DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between

pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.

Operations

This foot controller is made specially for the Megabar system. All of the built-in programmes can

be accessed via the 4 foot switches. To control the Megabar using the foot switch controller, you

must first set the bar systems into “SLAVE” mode.

Static colour selection mode:

To activate this mode, press the “MODE” foot switch so the “R” LED indicator is lit, now use

the “UP” and “DOWN” foot switches to select the desired colour. To blackout the unit, press the

“BLACKOUT” foot switch and press it again to return it to the previous setting.

Sound active mode:

To activate this mode, press the “MODE” foot switch so the “G” LED indicator is lit, now the unit

will work to the music. If you require to blackout the unit at any point, press the “BLACKOUT” foot

switch and press it again to return it to the previous setting.

Built-in programmes:

To activate this mode, press the “MODE” foot switch so the “Y” LED indicator is lit, now use the

“UP” and “DOWN” foot switches to select the desired built-in programme. To blackout the unit,

press the “BLACKOUT” foot switch and press it again to return it to the previous setting.

Full on mode:

To set the unit to Full On you can press and hold down for 3 seconds any of the four foot switches,

this will give Full ON “WHITE”. To return to the previous setting press the “MODE” foot switch.

When Full On is activated you can still use the “BLACKOUT” foot switch.
