If you are using a controller for operation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly to the DMX-
input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect multiple fixtures to the same chain you may do
so using the DMX output of the fixture.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture.
Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator:
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment, such as
in a club or studio, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing interference of the digital
control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120-ohm resistor connected
between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the DMX output socket of the last fixture in the chain.
Caution:
For the last fixture in the chain, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a DMX terminator. Solder a 120
resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Power connection:
Power Requirements:
The LED Profile 300 WW luminaire operates on 100 to 240 volts AC (+/- 10%, auto-ranging). This luminaire
contains an auto-switching power supply.
Power linking between fixtures:
The fixture has built in powercon in and out sockets. Connect the power out to the power in socket of the next fixture
in the chain until all fixtures are connected.
Caution:
maximum power linking - 6 units.
Connection with the mains:
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed powercon cable.
