The Space3 laser uses 8channels, please refer to the DMX-chart below for the functions
of the different channels.
Note: the display blinks when the unit is in DMX-mode and no DMX-signal is detected.
Some more information on DMX512:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light
equipment. You need to "daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected light
effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. To prevent strange behavior of the
light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of
the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won't work!
Each effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it
knows which commands from the controller it has to decode.
