:) Any body know how many DMX channels are needed to control the jem heavy fog 6500, and what each channel does ??? I have the service / operational manual but it hasn't got them inculded. Any help would be great.

Looking at that, at a guess Channel one deals with cooling, Channel 2 with the density, and channel 3 with the amount of fog.

 

I could be wrong, as I dont tend to work with MA consoles.

Chears that's kinda what I expected. IT looks like 5 channels of DMX control 1 for cooling, 2 for smoke type ( it does heay fog or a standed smoke ) 3 + 4 look like they control the directional flaps at the front and 5 is denisity. I don't know that much about the unit, the user manual is more of a service manual, but the company I work for has just aquirred one 2nd hand and it is one hell of a unit.

 

Thanks Again for that a great help I'll give it a try.

Failing that just give Martin UK a call, I had a look on their website and it seems the manual they have uploaded is incomplete.

 

No doubt someone there will have the full manual, or at least remember the outputs, give them a call, they are a really friendly bunch !!
