Setup cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference. DM X Data Cable Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485 applications. Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances. The cable will have the following characteristics: 2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft. Maximum

4. Operating Instructions Control Options The COLORado™ 3 is addressable in the DMX range of 001 to 512 in its simplest control form, this allows for the control of 20 fixtures; however, a secondary “ID” address system exists for use in a limited DMX universe and architectural environments. The “ID” address system allows the user to assign up to 66 fixtures within the same DMX address. In effect, multiplying the control of COLORado’s™ within a single universe to 1,320 fixtures. The COLO

Operating Instructions Setting the DMX address Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 244. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture 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 start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and note the start ad
