Operating Modes

DMXMode

The ROCKSTRIP 252 can be controlled via any DMX controller. Simply link the fixture to your DMX controller, program a chase, and then run the chase. You can also daisy chain multiple units. When you run a chase, the units will automatically be set to the appropriate DMX channel. If you are using multiple fixtures and you want independent control of each fixture, set them 4 DMX channels apart, like the example below:

Master/Slave Mode

In this mod,e you can link up to 16 fixtures together via the DMX IN/DMX OUT ports. The first fixture will control all the other fixtur,es which will automatically switch to slave mode. Any fixture can act as a master fixture.

DMX Controller Function

When using a DMX controller, use the chart below to reference each channel’s function.

3 Channel Mode

4 Channel Mode

7 Channel Mode

24 Channel Mode

28 Channel Mode

DMX Termination (Optional)

The last fixture anf a OMX chain has to be “terminated”. This prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the OMX control signals. To terminate the last fix,ture solder a 1/4 Watt, 120 Ohm resistor across the DATA – and DATA+ wires. The connections are illustrated below. If you are only connecting a few fixtthatwhich are close together and use a short run to the controller, you may be able to operate without a terminator.
