This image shows the back panel of the device, which includes the DMX OUT XLR connector, a diagram for DMX pin configuration (Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: -, Pin 3: +), an ON/OFF rocker switch, and a 9/12 VDC power input jack with specifications (min. 100 mA).

  • DMX OUT (XLR): 3-pin XLR connector for connecting to DMX-compatible lighting fixtures.
  • Interruptor ON / OFF: Encén o apaga la unitat.
  • 9/12 VDC Power Input: Jack for connecting the external power adapter (minimum 100 mA).
  • Compartiment de la bateria: Located on the underside (not visible in image) for optional 9V battery operation.

4. Configuració

Follow these steps to set up your BeamZ DMX60 controller:

  1. Connexió d'alimentació:
    • Connect a compatible 9V or 12V DC power adapter (minimum 100 mA) to the power input jack on the rear panel.
    • Alternatively, for portable use, install a 9V battery into the battery compartment on the underside of the unit. Ensure correct polarity.
  2. Connexió DMX:
    • Connect a 3-pin DMX cable from the DMX OUT XLR connector on the rear panel of the DMX60 to the DMX IN port of your first DMX lighting fixture.
    • For multiple fixtures, daisy-chain them by connecting the DMX OUT of the first fixture to the DMX IN of the next, and so on.
    • Ensure all DMX fixtures are set to their correct DMX starting addresses and channel modes according to their respective manuals.
  3. Encès: Flip the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel to the 'ON' position. The Power LED on the front panel should illuminate.

5. Funcionament

The BeamZ DMX60 provides direct control over 6 DMX channels.

  1. Control de canal individual:
    • Each of the six faders (1-6) corresponds to a DMX channel.
    • Move a channel fader up or down to adjust the DMX value for that specific channel. The fader scale (0-10) represents the full DMX range (0-255).
    • Per example, if your lighting fixture uses DMX channel 1 for intensity, moving fader 1 will adjust its brightness.
  2. Control mestre:
    • The Master fader controls the overall output level of all active DMX channels.
    • To dim all lights simultaneously, lower the Master fader. To increase overall brightness, raise it.
    • The Master fader acts as a global dimmer, allowing you to set the maximum output for all channels controlled by the individual faders.

6. Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your DMX60 controller.

  • Neteja: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
  • Emmagatzematge: When not in use, store the controller in a dry, dust-free environment. If using battery power, remove the battery during long periods of storage to prevent leakage.
  • Inspecció: Periodically check cables and connectors for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
