DMX Control Mode

The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the

controller.

The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller.

DMX Addressing

The control panel on the front side of the Cameleon Bar allows you to assign the DMX fixture address,

which is the first channel from which the Cameleon Bar will respond to the controller.

Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 5 channels.

When using multiple Cameleon Bars, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.

Therefore, the DMX address of the first Cameleon Bar should be 1(A001); the DMX address of the second

Cameleon Bar should be 1+5=6 (006); the DMX address of the third Cameleon Bar should be 6+5=11

(011), etc. Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each

Cameleon Bar correctly.

If two or more Cameleon Bars are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

Controlling:

After having addressed all Cameleon Bar fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting

controller.

Note: After switching on, the Cameleon Bar will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received

or not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the problem may be:

• The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Cameleon Bar.

• The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are

swapped in the input connector.

Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure

proper transmission on the DMX data link.
