6. Addressing
The control board on the front panel of the VISION 575 allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is
defined as the first channel from which theVISION 575 will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, theVISION 575 will use the channel 5 to 20 for control.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control eachVISION 575 correctly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or moreVISION 575 are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address setting follow this procedure:
1. Switch On theVISION 575 and wait until the fixture reset has finished ("rSt" is flashing at the display).
2. Press the [Menu] key in order to access the main menu. Browse through the menu by pressing the [+]
and [-] keys until the display shows "A001". Confirm by pressing [Enter] key and the letter "A" will flash.
3. Use the [+] and [-] keys to select the desired address.
4. Confirm by pressing [Enter] or [Menu] tocancel.
Controlling:
After having addressed allVISION 575 , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, theVISION 575 will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
Ifthere is no data receivedat the DMX-input,the displaywillstart to flash "A001" with actually set address.
This situation can occur if:
-the 3PINXLRplug(cablewithDMXsignalfromcontroller)isnot connectedwiththe inputoftheVISION 575
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are
swap in the input connector.
Note: It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last lighting in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
7. Remotely controllable functions
7.1 Lamp
TheVISION 575 is run with a HMI 575 lamp.
A relay inside of theVISION 575 allows you to switch On and Off the lamp via itself control board on the front
panel or via your controller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
7.2 Switching On and Off the lamp by the control board
1. Switch On theVISION 575 and wait until the fixture reset has finished.
2. Press the [Menu] key in order to access the main menu. Browse through the menu by pressing the [+] and
[-] keys until the display shows „LAMP”.Confirm by pressing [Enter] key.
3. Use the [+] and [-] keys to select "On" for switch On the lamp and "Off" for switch Off the lamp and
press [Enter] to confirm or [Menu] to cancel.
Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to be
cold before re-striking. For this reason, you have to wait 5 minutes (max. speed of fan must be adjusted) after
having switched Off the lamp before you can switch it back On again. If you try to switch On the lamp within 5
minutes after having switched it Off, theVISION 575 will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp
when the 5 minutes period has expired.The message "HEAt" will appear on the control board display . If the
ignition of the lamp is seven times unsuccessful, on the display will appear "LA.Er", meaning that thelampcould
bedamagedor evenmissed,ortherecould beafailureon the ignitororballast.
