Danger of fire!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable material
(decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min. 0,5 m.
Warning!
Use 2 clamps to rig the fixture on the truss. Follow the instructions mentioned at
the bottom of the base. Make sure that the device is fixed properly!
5. Addressing
The control board on the front panel of the SPICA 250M allows you to assign the DMX fixture
address, which is defined as the first channel from which the SPICA 250M will respond to the
controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the SPICA 250M will use the channel 5 to 20 for
control.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each SPICA 250M
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more SPICA 250M´s are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address setting follow this procedure
1. Switch On the SPICA 250M and wait until the fixture reset has finished ("rSt" is flashing at the
display).
2. Press the [Mode] key in order to access the main menu. Browse through the menu by pressing the
[Up] and [Down] keys until the display shows "A001". Confirm by pressing [Enter] key and the letter
"A" will flash.
3. Use the [Up] and [Down] keys to select the desired address.
4. Confirm by pressing [Enter] or [Mode] to cancel.
Controlling
After having addressed all SPICA 250M, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note:
After switching on, the SPICA 250M will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
