PARTY SPINNER LED: How To Set Up DMX Control

Introduction

This guide will walk you through the process of connecting a DMX controller to your Party Spinner LED Moving Headlights. Using a DMX controller allows you to have precise control over movement, color, strobe, and dimming functions. You can choose between 6-Channel DMX mode for basic control or 10-Channel DMX mode for more advanced control.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Select DMX Channel Mode

• On each light, select either:
  • 6-Channel Mode (Basic control)
  • 10-Channel Mode (Full control)
• For this guide, we’ll use 10-Channel Mode.

2. Set the DMX Address

• Set the DMX address of each light to A001 (or another address if needed).
• Make sure all lights are in Slave Mode, as the DMX controller will act as the master.

3. Connect the DMX Controller to Your Lights

1. Connect the first light to the DMX controller:
   • Take a DMX cable.
   • Plug the male end into the DMX Out of the controller.
   • Plug the other end into the DMX In of the first light.
2. Connect additional lights:
   • Take another DMX cable.
   • Plug the male end into the DMX Out of the first light.
   • Plug the other end into the DMX In of the next light.
   • Repeat for all additional lights.

4. Turn On the DMX Controller

• Power on your DMX controller.
• Activate Scanner 1 to begin controlling the lights.

5. Reset the Lights (If Needed)

• If the lights don’t respond, go to the Reset Menu on each light.
• Press Enter to reset the light and normalize settings.

6. Understanding DMX Fader Controls in 10-Channel Mode

Once connected, you can use the faders on the DMX controller to adjust the lights:

Conclusion

Setting up a DMX controller for your Party Spinner LED Moving Headlights is simple and allows for full control over lighting effects. By properly setting up DMX addressing, chaining lights with cables, and using faders, you can create dynamic light shows with customized colors, movement, and brightness levels.
