The Rosco DMX Interface has been designed to control most of the range of standard Rosco fog machines through
the industry standard DMX lighting control consoles. The interface will allow a preset volume control of the
4500 and the PF-1000 Remote Head Fogger (not all indicator
lights will function) and the older Model 1500.
The DMX Interface draws its power directly from the fog machine in the same manner as the Standard
Remote or Super Remote. Connection to the machine is made via a 7 pin XLR
type connector that is attached to the unit and is plugged in to the same input on the machine as any
of the standard control accessories.
The unit is addressable to any DMX channel via (8 way) dip switch settings
using the binary code system. There is a second set of dip switches (5 way) that can be used to preset
the machine output.

ROSCO DMX FOG INTERFACE
This interface is designed to receive a DMX data stream and control one connected fog machine. The interface
plugs into the remote connector on the fog machine. The interface has a DMX in and out connector, to allow daisy
chaining.
Setup:
Make sure the fog machine is turned off.
Plug the interface into the fog machine, and the DMX cable(s) into the interface.
Set the address using switches 1 - 9.
Set the mode using switches 1 - 5.
Power up the fog machine, switch it to remote operation, and wait for it to warm up.
Operation:
The red H LED is the heater is on indicator.
The green 'R' LED is the ready indicator.
The 'C' LED will indicate the operating mode and comm status of the interface.
- Off: Blown fuse or no power is present.
- Blinking Red or Blinking Red / Green: The interface is in hard reset mode - possible power problem or
IC failure. Contact Rosco.
- Solid Red: The interface is working, but no CMX comm is present.
- Solid Green: The interface is OK, CMX comm is present, but no output is active.
- Flashing Green: The interface OK, and the fog machine output is on. As the DMX signal increases, the LE
will flash faster. If CMX comm is interrupted for more than 3 seconds, the outputs will automatically turn
off.
