Portable Fixture DMX Pinout
Set the DMX Address on the Fixture
You can set the DMX address using RDM, but you can also set the DMX
address on the fixture itself, if necessary. The fixture uses the last address that
you set, regardless of whether you set it via RDM or locally on the fixture.
There are three addressing dials on the track adapter (track-mounted fixture),
in the canopy (canopy fixture), or on the driver box (portable fixture). To set
the DMX address, use a small flat-head screwdriver to move the arrow to the
desired address number.

2 Orange DMX1 -
3 White/green DMX2 +
4 Blue Not Connected
5 White/blue Not Connected
6Green DMX2-
7 White/brown Iso Common
8 Brown Iso Common 2

16 Irideon WLZ
DMX addresses must be set between 1 and 512. Each fixture must be
considered a separate DMX device for the purpose of DMX line-loading
calculations. The Irideon WLZ only has an intensity channel.
Note:
When using RDM with track-mounted fixtures, ETC
recommends connecting no more than 20 fixtures on a
single run.
