5.3 Operation with a DMX controller
For operation via a DMX light controller (e.g. DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB), the FXBAR-5SET is equipped with 27 DMX control channels. The FXBAR-5SET can also be controlled via 9, 5 or 3 channels if the functions provided are sufficient (6 chapter 5.3.3) or if the number of channels available on the light controller is less than 27.
5.3.1 Connection
For DMX signal transmission, special cables are recommended (e.g. cables of the CDMNX series). For cable lengths exceeding 150 m or when controlling more than 32 units via a single DMX output, it is generally recommended to insert a DMX level matching amplifier (e.g. SR-103DMX).
1) Connect the input DMX IN to the DMX output of the light controller or to the DMX output of a second DMX-controlled unit.
2) Connect the output DMX OUT to the DMX input of the second DMX unit. Proceed in the same way to connect the output of the second unit to the input of the third unit etc. until all DMX-controlled units have been connected in a chain.
3) To prevent interference in signal transmission, in case of long cables or a multitude of units connected in series, terminate the DMX output of the last DMX unit in the chain with a 120 resistor (>0.3W) : Connect a corresponding terminating plug (e.g. DLT-123) to the DMX output jack.
5.3.2 Activating the DMX mode
For separate control of all DMX units connected to the light controller, each unit must have its own start address. For FXBAR-5SET, start address 1 and control via 27 DMX channels are factory-set. If start address 1 is already used for another DMX-controlled unit, change the start address of the FXBAR-5SET. To change the start address and the number of DMX channels, refer to the chapter below.
To activate the DMX mode, press the button MENU repeatedly until the display indicates dH. Then press the button ENTER. The display will indicate the start address (e.g. 500). The FXBAR-5SET can now be controlled via DMX. If the set does not receive any control signal, the start address will flash.

- If a derby light has been connected to the jack 2 and/or 1 and the menu item changed accordingly (chapter 6.1), the rotation will be adjustable via channel 10 and /or 15; for DMX values refer to channel 5 or 20.
6 System Settings
The following system settings can be changed via menu item:
6.1 Spotlight/Derbylight configuration
for DMX mode with 27 channels
It is not necessary to change the setting for the spotlight /derby light configuration unless the arrangement of lights has been changed and DMX control of the FXBAR-5SET with 27 channels is desired.
The controller will automatically recognize which spotlight/derby light (1...4) has been connected to which jack (1...4) and will send the control signals to the corresponding jacks. The number can be found on the rear of the light and in the figure on page 14. For the 27-channel mode, this means:
| light number | will be controlled via the DMX channels |
| 1 | 1 - 5 |
| 2 | 6 - 10 |
| 3 | 11 - 15 |
| 4 | 16 - 20 |
If the arrangement of the spotlights /derby lights has not been changed, the controls for the lights on the light controller will be in the same order as the lights at the controller:
Example 1: Factory-set arrangement
If the arrangement of the spotlights /derby lights has been changed, automatic redirection of the control signals will result in a different order. In the following example, the lights 2 and 4 have been interchanged:
