Setting the DMX Starting Address
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This start address is the channel number from which the device starts to "listen" to the DMX
controller. Enter the correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the PAR56.
You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one for
every device. When all devices have the same address, all the PAR56s will "listen" to the control signal
on one particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set different addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel number.
Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
In the case of the 3-channel PAR56, you will have to set the start address of the first PAR56 to 1, the
second PAR56 to 4 (1 + 3), the third to 7 (4 + 3) and so on.
9. Troubleshooting
problem
fuse keeps blowing
chase is too slow
fixture has no power
fixture is not responding
fixture is powered on but
there is no movement to
the audio
light will not come on after
power failure
signal loss
no light output
10. General Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and
environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be
cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause
overheating. This can lead to reduced LED life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off
fixture before conducting maintenance.
