Setting the DMX Start Channel
Each SHOWGUN fixture requires a block of 30 consecutive channels on a 512-Channel DMX link.
Up to seventeen 30-channel standard SHOWGUN fixtures can be assigned to a single 512-
Channel DMX link. For more information on Start Channels, see
Determining DMX Start Channel
Assignment on page 16.
To Set the Start Channel on an SHOWGUN Fixture:
1. Access the fixture’s menu system via the dot matrix display on the fixture’s front panel. For
a detailed description of the menu system, see Chapter 3: SHOWGUN® Menu System on
page 13.
Note: Navigation system buttons’ functions invert automatically when the
fixture is turned upside down.
2. Unlock the menu system by pressing and holding down the Menu button until the extended
2-line display appears.
DMX Address menu is the first option at the top menu level.
3. Press the Enter button to select. The display will show Set DMX Start Channel:###. The
display will show the start channel currently assigned to the fixture.
4. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons on the Center button to select a new DMX start
channel. The display will flash a new option ready for selection.
Note: The last valid Start channel for a SHOWGUN fixture is based on its 30-channel
range. The last valid start channel for a SHOWGUN fixture is 483 (512–30+1).
5. Press the Enter button to store the new DMX Start channel. The display will stop flashing
when a new option is entered.
