Page 12: Fixture Stacking
Fixture Stacking The fixtures may be stacked together horizontally to create a strip light or vertically for a blinder effect. This can be used for runway lighting or cycloramas. With the different methods of bracket mounting, this turns the COLORdash™ Batten into a very versatile lighting tool. It is recommended that a maximum of three fixtures be stacked together at a time. - Page 13 Hanging horizontal stacking (two units) with side safety loops and two “O” clamps. In a two-unit horizontal stacking arrangement, CHAUVET recommends using two clamps to prevent the arrangement from pivoting Horizontal Stacking (Floor Standing) Floor standing horizontal stacking (three units) with rear brackets and side floor stands (exploded view).

Page 20: Configuring The Starting Address
Configuring the Starting Address Each fixture requires a starting address from 1 ~ 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the starting address. For example, a fixture that uses seven DMX channels and is addressed to start on DMX channel 100, will read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. -
