I have 2 of theses pars and having issues getting them to talk to my DMX controller does not want to be setup. I can run them master slave no problem?

Try using different DMX channel modes on the lights. Some lights default to 7 channel mode, but the lighting controller wants them to be in 4 channel mode, for example.

hmmm. I guess I would start with making sure the channels are matching the sliders. Are those the only lights you have connected to your controller or do you have others?

Sorry...using my two in simple mode no controller...if both are not responding...I would try another device to see if that can be controlled by your controller... if so, and neither of these two work...it must be protocol or set up issues.... I would research each manual. Sorry cant give more.

Master slave has never been a problem for me. I've never run them DMX because it isn't feasible for my purposes. If you do try master slave, then you'll need IEC male to female power cords for the links.

I don't use a controller for these, so I'm not familiar with that operation. I find them easiest to use with sound mode or constant color. I use my controller for other lights that require more control.

Make sure they are on d001 and they are all connected by the dmx cables. They should work just fine

Freestyler buddy! It's great with it. No issues with my setup. Chauvet show express and the American dj software will not work with it. Great prize! You can add any type brand fixture with a DMX interface. You might now have some in the fixture list but you can easily create you own using the specification of each of the fixtures.

I'm fairly certain mine can do that. They dedinateky dont need dmx to work, you just flip the dipswitches.

No, the extra wire that you see actually has the IR receiver on the end of it. You need line of sight between the remote and the end of that wire. The infrared controller is the only way to control the fixture. You cannot use a DMX controller. The IR remote however can control more than one light as long as you have line of sight for all your fixtures. All the lights will however display the same color/effect. If you want to have different colors or effects on different lights, you would need to shield the lights so that the IR signal was only reaching one light at a time. I have 8 of these. One remote controls 4 lights, and the other 4 need a different controler. Apparently they came from different batches and some use a different IR frequency than others, so I would recommend buying all you need at the same time. Also, if using a color changing effect, not all lights will change colors at exactly the same time. Some are a little faster than others so they get out of sync. The timing device used to control the color change macros is not very precisie.

Are you familiar with DMX and how the Console Communicates with the LED Controller? Are you familiar with LEDs and PowerSupply requirements?

This unit can be controlled by any DMX 512 board like American DJ DMX operator if you want to control the color, strobe rate, and dim manually. It works fine in auto mode and is linkable so you can have multiple units doing the same thing at the same time timed with music. You do need to understand how to adjust DIP switch settings so read the manual.

Zee question is whether your DMX is on RS-485. DMX is a protocol that can sit on top of all manner of cabling. If it's DMX E1.11, it might work. I've been using it for Modbus/RTU devices and it works well.

It's only for controlling leds in 3 channel mode . You need a full size dmx controller for the led moving heads

should have a red and green light on if it is receiving signal correctly. make sure you have installed the software correctly that came with it and are using a compatible dmx software. also make sure you have selected the device as an output option within the dmx software

This is a controller board. It does not supply power to the light fixtures themselves, it simply plugs into the DMX interface for the lights (or the DMX dimmer switch if the lights do not have onboard DMX). The lighting fixtures can be whatever wattage their power connection (dimmer switch, power strip, wall outlet) and the light fixture itself supports. The board is powered by a wall wart from a standard 110 outlet. I use this in conjunction with ADJ dimmer switches connected to PAR36 cans containing 700 watt bulbs, but I could just as easily use 1000 or 1500 watt bulbs or higher if I chose, and if my PARs supported them (which they do).

Yes. Remember there is a steep learning curve to the Obey 40 if you are not accustomed to using a DMX controller. In every Chauvet manual is a chart of possible settings and the numbers associated to the action the unit is capable of. You didn't mention that you have DMX cables or a DMX terminator. My advice is to use both. Avoid mic cables instead of actual DMX cables.

All the Lights will need to be powered Individually. Cannot be powered by the DMX alone. Although that would be nice Feature lol. This particular Item is simple enough to be used but, for me for some odd reason it didn't work that well for me. So I ended up doing a return and got the Obey40 by Chauvet. Works Wonders and I love it lol. Good luck mate hope all works for yah.

what controller are we talking about. I have installed a lot of MM. Can you be more specific.

I did use it with Freestyler however, I changed over to a Entec because I also used other DMX Programs that were NOT compatible.

Welcome to descriptions based off of bad manual writing and/or translation. It means you can use this with a DMX controller or in (slave mode) or use it's dip switch selectable chase patterns. Hope this helps.
