Hi,
We've recently purchased an Elation DMX Operator. It's pretty much bottom line this one without the polarity switch on the back. It's controlling 10 HTL LED par64 pro cans.

We've been trying to put each par on it's own fixture. Following the manual for the board, we set each light's address to intervals of 16 (1, 17, 33, and so on). To our surprise this did not work at all. We then attempted separating them by 6 since we're using only the first 6 sliders for each light (intensity, r, g, b, effect, speed). That didn't work either (not a huge surprise). Finally we started setting the lights to random addresses and seeing which fixtures they responded to. DMX configuration should not be trial and error, but that's what we were forced to do. These are the addresses we finally figured out worked for each fixture:

Fixture 1: 1
Fixture 2: 33
Fixture 3: 17
Fixture 4: 49
Fixture 5: 9
Fixture 6: 41
Fixture 7: 25
Fixture 8: (We never did find this one)
Fixture 9: 5
Fixture 10: 37
Fixture 11: 21 (as a replacement for 8)

We can set any of the lights to any of these addresses and they'll work on that fixture - but these are entirely wrong addresses. What's going on here?

Very weird. Let me get someone from ADJ service to check this out. (the DMX op is sold under Elation but is supported by ADJ)
So give us a day or so starting Monday.
Welcome to the forums.
Sincerely,

Awesome. Thank you! I'll stop pulling my hair out 'til then

Hello All,

The DMX operator is a 16 channel board. The first fixture needs to be on Address 1 or dipswitches 1,5 on only. The next fixture will be Address 17 or dipswitches 1,6 on only. Then so on and so on. 33, 49, 65, all the way through to 177. Hope this helps.

Hi Joel,

Thank you for you input - however, we've attempted to configure it like that and it simply doesn't work. Fixture one controls lights on address one, but fixture two will only control lights set to 33. Fixture two will not control lights set to address 17. My first post shows the addresses that each fixture seems to control.

Are you still unable to find about fixture 8 ?

Hi,
I'm from México and I just bought the operator 192, and I configure the fixtures with the 16 address difference, and doesn't work, so I going to try your addresses hope these works.

Hello Miyatosh,

It will work if you use the address I provided. Please email me if you have any questions. My Email is JoelChen@americandj.com. Thanks.

Thanks for the response, and sorry for not to reply you earlier, but I went to see a friend that might help me with my DMX operator, but still nothing happens, so I want to know if I could link you my youtube video, so you could see my operator 192 and tell me what I’m doing wrong, here in Mexico don’t know what is a DMX terminator, well in the store that I bought most of my stuff, but I want to know if it’s a must to have a DMX terminator.

Yes, please send me an email. JoelChen@americandj.com. Thank you.

I just email you, with the link of my video I hope you could help me with my DMX operator.

Thanks, I saw the video and replied to your email. Thanks!
