The cap on the DMX IN port is a protection cover. Please
remove it with your finger before operation.
10.2 Onboard DMX Setting
The Z-1000 III have an on-board DMX control.
Use 1 channel to control on/off operation. Each channel has a value range of 0 to 255. On/Off function can be
programmed using the DMX controller or the DMX control software being used by lighting and effects operator.
If Channel A has a value from 0 to 128, the unit is OFF.
Between the values 129 to 255 the volume of fog output is at maximum.
Note: In the example above, if the machine was assigned the DMX address of 130, Channel A would correspond to
DMX address 130.
In general, Antari fog machines with onboard DMX conform to the following performance specifications:
1. Average Operating temperature = 250ºC
2. Fogger can maintain maximum output for 30 seconds or more
Channel A
0 - 128 = OFF
129 – 255 = Maximum Volume Output (100%)
10.3 Addressing
Each device occupies 1 channel. To ensure that the control signals are properly directed to each device, they require
addressing. This is to be adjusted for every single device by changing the DIP-switches as set out in the table
below. The starting address is defined as the first channel from which the device will respond to the controller.
Please make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each device correctly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more devices are addressed similarly,
they will work similarly.
