The RECESSEDWASH 150 can be operated with a controller in controller mode or without the controller in
stand-alone mode.
Both modes are described in the text below.
7.Controller mode
The fixtures are individually addressed (001-505) on a data link and connected to the controller.The fixtures
respond to the DMX signal from the controller.
7.1 DMX addressing
Thecontrol panel onthe front side ofthe base allowsyouto assign theDMX fixture address,whichis defined as
the first channel from which the RECESSEDWASH 150 will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the RECESSED WASH 150 will use the channel 5 to 12 for
control.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each RECESSED WASH 150
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more RECESSED WASH 150 are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Foraddress setting, pleaserefertothe instructions under"Addressing"(menu"A001").
Controlling:
AfterhavingaddressedallRECESSEDWASH150 , you maynowstart operatingtheseviayourlightingcontroller.
Note:After switchingon, the RECESSEDWASH150will automatically detect whetherDMX512data is received
or not.If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash "A001" with actually set
address.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the RECESSED
WASH 150
- the controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the
inputconnector.
Note:It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) to the last fixture in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
7.2 Remotely controllable functions
Lamp
TheRECESSEDWASH 150 is tobeoperatedwith a CDM-SA/T150W/942lamp.
Arelayinsideof the RECESSEDWASH150 allowsyouto switchonand off thelamp via thecontrolpanel or via
