   • Alternatively, for portable use, install a 9V battery into the battery compartment on the underside of the unit. Ensure correct polarity.
2. DMX-Verbindung:
   • Connect a 3-pin DMX cable from the DMX OUT XLR connector on the rear panel of the DMX60 to the DMX IN port of your first DMX lighting fixture.
   • For multiple fixtures, daisy-chain them by connecting the DMX OUT of the first fixture to the DMX IN of the next, and so on.
   • Ensure all DMX fixtures are set to their correct DMX starting addresses and channel modes according to their respective manuals.
3. Einschalten: Flip the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel to the 'ON' position. The Power LED on the front panel should illuminate.

5. Betrieb

The BeamZ DMX60 provides direct control over 6 DMX channels.

1. Individuelle Kanalsteuerung:
   • Each of the six faders (1-6) corresponds to a DMX channel.
   • Move a channel fader up or down to adjust the DMX value for that specific channel. The fader scale (0-10) represents the full DMX range (0-255).
   • Zum Beispielample, if your lighting fixture uses DMX channel 1 for intensity, moving fader 1 will adjust its brightness.
2. Hauptschaltraum:
   • The Master fader controls the overall output level of all active DMX channels.
   • To dim all lights simultaneously, lower the Master fader. To increase overall brightness, raise it.
   • The Master fader acts as a global dimmer, allowing you to set the maximum output for all channels controlled by the individual faders.

6. Wartung
