DMX Channel Summary

Product Overview
Setup
Operating Instructions
The Colour Burst is a DMX-512 controllable, full RGB colour mixing Par Can made up of high
ef ciency and super bright LED’s. There are three colour groups (red, blue and green) whose
intensity can be controlled individually allowing the creation of an unlimited range of colours.
The Colour Burst will operate in stand-alone, Master/Slave, sound activated and via DMX-512 control.

Master/Slave
The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link up as many units as you want in a daisy chain
fashion. In this mode, the rst unit in the daisy chain will control the following units.
1) Connect all units in a daisy chain as described in the section following.
2) For master unit in Auto mode: Set dip switch 8 to ON and all others to OFF
3) For master unit in Sound Activation mode: Set dip switch 8+9 to ON and all others to OFF
4) For Slave mode: set dip switches 10+1 to ON and all others to OFF
Stand-Alone Mode
• You can run the xtures in an automatic stand-alone mode by simply setting all xtures
to run as master units. (set dip switch #8 to on and all others off).
Sound Activation
The Colour Burst has a built-in microphone which enables it to operate in Sound to Light mode.
Set the sensitivity control to the desired level, and the Colour Burst will change colour to the beat
of the music. Set dip switch 8+9 to ON to activate Sound Mode.
Daisy Chain Connection
1) Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin
connector of the rst xture
2) Connect the end of the cable coming from the rst xture which will have a (female) 3 pin
connector to the input connector of the next xture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector.
Proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following xture
and so on.

Manual Control Options
Colour Selection
• With Dip Switch 1 only set to ON you obtain static RED
• With Dip Switch 2 only set to ON you obtain static GREEN
• With Dip Switch 3 only set to ON you obtain static BLUE
You can have any combination of switches 1,2,3 to obtain static colour mix.
Flashing Mode
Once you have selected a static colour you can make it ash by using Dip Switches 4,5,6, 4 is
slow ash, 4&5 is medium ash and 4,5 & 6 is fast ash.
For example if you wish to obtain a purple wash with a medium speed ash you would put dip
switches 1 and 3 (red & blue) to ON to obtain purple, and the Dip switches 4 & 5 to ON to
obtain a medium speed ash.
With all the Dip switches set to off this activates an internal slow colour mixing change and fade
programme.
Blackout Mode
With only dip switch #10 set to ON the Colour Burst will blackout.
DMX Control Mode
Operating in a DMX control mode environment gives the user the greatest exibility when it comes
to customising or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of
the xture and each xture independently. The Colour Burst uses 4 channels of control.
Enable the DMX control by setting dip switch No: 10 to the ON position. Use dip switches 1 – 9 to
address each xture accordingly.
Setting the DMX address
The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each xture requires a “start
address” from 1- 511. A xture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data
on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a xture 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 Control Mode
Set the start address using the group of dip switches located usually on the back of the xture.
Each dip switch has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will
provide the start address. Determining which switches to toggle ON given a specic start address
can be accomplished in the following manner. By subtracting the largest switch value possible
from the selected start address until zero is achieved.

DMX-512:
• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between
intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the
controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the
DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (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 xtures and the controller are DMX
compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use
the shortest cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not
inuence the DMX addressing. For example; a xture 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
xture 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 Colour Burst 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 (gure 1).
Figure 1
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Notice:
• Be sure to follow gures 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 xtures 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.
