Set the product in DMX mode to control with a DMX controller.
1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.
2. Turn the product on.
3. Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input
socket on the product.
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels
the selected DMX mode uses. If you
choose a starting address that is too high, you could
restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.
The Impulse™ 648 uses up to 2 DMX channels in its 2-channel DMX mode, which
defines the highest configurable address to 511.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, you may refer to the DMX Primer section in
the Technical Information chapter.
To select the starting address, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 512 shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
4. Press <ENTER>.
