DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA "IN" and DATA "OUT" XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA "OUT" terminal).

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation): The 12PX Hex and 12PX Hex Pearl can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The 12PX Hex/12PX Hex Pearl has 4 DMX channel modes. The DMX address is set on the back panel of the 12PX Hex/12PX Hex Pearl. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for data input and data output (Figure 1). We recommend

Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all pro lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Figure 1

Notice: Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your own cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable's shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR's outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

Figure 2

Figure 3

XLR Pin Configuration

Pin 1 = Ground

Pin 2 = Data Compliment (negative)

Pin 3 = Data True (positive)

Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.

Termination reduces signal errors and avoids signal transmission problems and interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-) and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

Figure 4
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control display on the fixture.

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for each individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react in the same way, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.

In the case of the 12PX Hex/12PX Hex Pearl, when in 12 channel mode you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 13 (12 + 1), the third unit to 25 (13 + 12), and so on. (See chart below for more details.)

3. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll through the DMX Channel modes. The Channel modes are listed below:

4. To run the 6 Channel Mode, press the MODE button until "Ch06" is displayed. This is the 6 Channel DMX Mode.

5. To run the 7 Channel Mode, press the MODE button until "Ch07" is displayed. This is the 7 Channel DMX Mode.
6. To run the 8 Channel Mode, press the MODE button until “Ch08” is displayed. This is the 8 Channel DMX Mode.

7. To run the 12 Channel Mode, press the MODE button until "Ch12" is displayed. This is the 12 Channel DMX Mode.

8. Please see page 11 for DMX values and traits.

9. After you have chosen your desired DMX Channel mode plug in the fixture via the XLR connections to any standard DMX controller.

Sound Active Mode:

In this mode the 12PX Hex/12PX Hex Pearl will react to sound, and chase through the different colors.

1. Plug the fixture in and press the MODE button until "SoXX" is displayed. "XX" represents the sound sensitivity level. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the sensitivity. "00" is the lowest sensitivity, "30" is the highest.

Static Color Mode:

1. Plug the fixture in and press the MODE button until "C-XX" is displayed. "XX" is the color number currently displayed.
2. There are 63 colors to choose from. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to find your desired color.

Dimmer Curve:

This is used to set the dimmer curve used with DMX mode. See the Dimmer Curve chart on page 19 for more information.

1. Plug the fixture in and press the MODE button until the DMX address is displayed.
2. Press the ENTER button until "dCXX" is displayed. This is the dimmer setting. "XX" represents the current dimming mode.

3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to find your desired dimmer curve. Press ENTER when you are finished.
