Frequently Asked Questions - Titan Strobe FX Controller Showtec
How do I connect the Titan Strobe FX Controller to my strobe lights?
Use standard DMX cables (3-pin or 5-pin XLR) to connect the controller's DMX output to the first strobe's DMX input, then daisy-chain subsequent strobes. Ensure the controller is set to DMX mode and assign addresses accordingly.
Can I use the controller without a DMX console?
Yes, the controller supports stand-alone operation. You can adjust settings directly on the unit via buttons and the display, and select built-in auto programs or sound-activated modes.
How do I set a DMX address for the controller?
Press the 'Menu' button until the DMX address setting appears. Use the up/down buttons to set the desired address (1-512). Press 'Enter' to confirm. The controller will occupy up to 16 channels depending on the mode.
What is the maximum number of strobe lights I can control?
The controller can control up to 16 DMX channels, which typically corresponds to one fixture per channel if using single-channel strobes. However, with multi-channel fixtures, the number may be less. Daisy-chaining is limited by DMX line length (max 300m total).
How do I reset the controller to factory defaults?
Navigate via the menu to 'Factory Reset' (may appear as 'Reset' or 'Default'). Press and hold the 'Enter' button for 3 seconds to confirm. All settings will revert to original.
Why are my strobe lights not responding?
Check the following: 1) Power connections to both controller and strobes. 2) DMX cable connections and integrity. 3) Correct DMX address set on controller and strobes. 4) Controller mode set to DMX (not stand-alone). 5) Terminator plug on last fixture if needed.
Can I use this controller with non-Showtec strobe lights?
Yes, as long as the strobes are DMX-compatible with standard DMX512 protocol and have the same polarity (pin 1 ground, pin 2 data-, pin 3 data+). Some fixtures may require a different pinout; check the fixture's manual.
How do I clean and maintain the controller?
Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the front panel and chassis. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. Keep vents (if any) free of dust. No internal user-serviceable parts.
What are the sound-activated modes?
The controller has a built-in microphone that triggers strobe patterns based on ambient sound level. You can adjust sensitivity and choose from preset patterns. This mode is ideal for parties or events without a DMX console.
Does the controller support RDM (Remote Device Management)?
No, the Titan Strobe FX Controller does not support RDM. It is a basic DMX controller. For RDM, consider Showtec's advanced controllers or use a separate RDM interface.
