5. DMX Connection and DMX Protocol
5.1 DMX addressing:
5.1.1 The device is controlled by universal DMX 512 protocol, DMX address is the
start channel used to receive instructions from the external controller. For
independent control, each fixture must be assigned its unique address control
channels. For example, this device has three channel modes: St/Ex/Ba, if we set
the mode at standard 18 channels mode, and there are several models need to
be independently controlled. We just simply address first fixture at 1, second
fixture at 21, and third one at 41, etc.
If the devices have the same address, they will behave synchronically.
DMX addressing is limited, don’t set the address so high without enough control
channels for the fixtures.
Display is flashing when no DMX signal is received.
5.1.2 Connection: use DMX cable with 5-pin XLR-plugs to connect the controller
with the fixture or one fixture with another.

7. Setting Options by RDM
You can remotely configure the fixture over the DMX line using RDM.
A full list of the RDM functions that STAGE 100F fixture supports is given at the
end of this chapter.
These functions are generally referred to using the more specific term ‘PIDs’ or
‘Parameter IDs’.
7.1 Scanning for RDM devices on the data link
Before you can communicate with fixtures using RDM, you must send a scan
command(also called a device discovery command) to all the devices on the data
link so that the RDM controller can identify them. It does this by retrieving each
device’s factory-set parameter identifier(PID). This process can take some time
depending on the number of devices on the link.
7.2 To identify the fixtures on the link:
Check that the fixtures are correctly connected to the RDM controller on the
data link and that power is applied to all fixtures.
*Go to discover devices of the RDM controller.
*Give the controller time to identify the devices on the link and prepare for
communication with the devices.
Getting status and setting options by RDM.
The status and options listed in the table below can be ready and set by RDM.
You can set an option on one fixture by sending a unicast RDM command to that
one fixture only, or you can set the same option on all the fixtures on the data
link by sending a broadcast RMD command to all the devices on the link.
For status reading, you can only use unicast RDM to read information from an
individual fixture.

8. Unique Features
8.1 RDM, stand for “Remote Device Management”, with this function, users can
realize remote control of the device, such as remotely changing DMX address,
reversing pan/tilt setting, and checking a lot of useful information such as
temperature, power consumption, fan speed, etc. Every single device has a
unique RDM code before leaving factory to distinguish from each other. Usually
not suggest users change this code freely.
8.2 Software upgrade function via DMX cable, if there is any new firmware for
this device coming out, it can be upgraded simply via a software upgrade box, no
need to change any mechanical parts. The upgrade box is not included in the
package, if need any further assistance please just contact authorized dealers.
8.3 Hibernation, the device will enter sleeping mode if activated after a period of
disconnecting DMX signal to save the power consumption, and will return
immediately as soon as the DMX signal is sent again.
8.4 Display battery, this function is prepaid in the display PCB. Users just need to
install a normal 10440 600mAh 3.7V rechargeable lithium battery, then users
could power on the display and do setting without being connected to main
power.
8.5 Display back-up communication IC, there is a back-up communication IC
installed in the display PCB, so users could replace at once if the working one is
broken, no need to wait long time from service.
8.6 Display flip：by press up and down button for more than 3 seconds, the
display will flip automatically. This function is useful to read menu conveniently
when device is hanged.
