DMX Setup
DMX Basics
DMX512 stands for digital multiplex 512 This means that 512 channels are controlled
digitally through 1 data cable
A channel is a set of 255 steps that are assigned to control attributes in each light This
may be a color like red, green or blue, and intensity, strobe, pan/tilt or other attributes
GAMMA LED Vision – Torrent Wash IP Page 7 of 16

Multiple sets of 512 “universes” may be used Only 1 universe will travel on a DMX cable,
but through networked DMX (Art-Net or sACN E1 31), many universes can travel over a
network
DMX Wiring
DMX works by connecting 1 or multiple lights to the output of a DMX lighting console or
software with a DMX interface
DMX lights connect in what is called a “daisy-chain” Your first DMX cable will plug it’s
male DMX connector into the female DMX connector on your lighting console The
remaining female connector will then connect to the DMX input on your first light
You may then connect your next fixture to the output of your first light, and continue the
chain
32 Fixture Rule – DMX only allows you to connect up to 32 fixtures in a single daisy
chain for signal strength Sometimes, depending on the fixtures and cable length, this
number is less (or more)
DMX Cables can be 3-pin or 5-pin These use the same type of data, and in the 5-pin
only pins 1, 2, and 3 are used The cable should be a 2 conductor, shielded cable of at
least 110 ohms resistance Microphone cable is not DMX cable
Please refer to the diagram below:
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically
noisy environment, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator This helps in preventing
corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise and reflections The DMX
terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,
which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain Please
see illustrations below:

DMX Modes and Configuration
The Torrent Wash IP has multiple DMX modes, sometimes called “personalities”, “profiles”,
or as we will use here “modes”
In general, modes with more DMX channels offer a greater level of control or options but
take up more of your output channels on your lighting console or software
Modes with less DMX channels often offer less control, but may be plenty for your needs
Depending on your needs and control solution, you may not need channels for
automated programs, strobes, or macros – your console may have great effects! In this
case, you can use a lesser channel mode and fit more lights per DMX universe
View the DMX mode charts below to find the mode that best suits your needs

On the left side of the sheet you will see the different modes and which channel
corresponds to each function listed on the right in the given mode.

3. Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
The cleaning of lens must be carried out periodically to optimize light output Cleaning
frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smokey, or
particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s
optics
• Clean with a damp, soft cloth
• Always dry the parts carefully
• Clean the external optics at least every 20 days in demanding environments
Troubleshooting Problems
The following are a few common problems that may occur during operation Here are
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work:
•Check that the unit is plugged in to a working power connector
•Press the menu button to confirm that the unit is powered on If the screen does
not light up, the unit has no power
B. Not Responding to the MX Controller
•Check DMX cables to verify that they are plugged in and functional
•Check the DMX address and mode – does it match the address and mode patched
in the lighting console or software?
•Plug the light directly into the DMX controller with a cable that you know is good
Unplug all other lights – does it work?
•Try to use another DMX controller
