3 Installation
This chapter contains instructions for the installation of the
Motorised WARP
. It covers
connecting power and data, powering up the
Motorised WARP
for the first time and addressing it
within your system.
3.1 Mounting
The
Motorised WARP
MUST be mounted in a vertical position, either hanging vertically on a tube
or standing on the base of its Topbox.
3.2 Power and Data Cabling Requirements
3.2.1 Mains power for the control electronics
The
Motorised WARP
is available in 2 different power versions: a standard 230 V version and a
universal version (option).
The
standard version
requires standard 230 V power for all internal electronics and motors;
the working voltage range is 198-264 V, 50/60 Hz.
The
universal version
requires standard AC power to power all internal electronics and
motors; the working voltage range is 90-264 V, 50/60 Hz.
Both versions are equipped with a 3-pole Neutrik PowerCon locking connector, and the mating
Neutrik PowerCon cable receptacle is included. However, you will need to purchase or
construct a supply cable appropriate for your application.
3.2.2 Lamp
power
The power for the lamp of the
Motorised WARP
is supplied by the output of an external dimmer
(not included).
3.2.3 DMX data and termination when
WARP
receives DMX
The
Motorised WARP
is equipped with a pair of XLR5 connectors for DATA IN and DATA
OUT/THRU. DMX data from an external DMX source should be connected to the DATA IN.
Connectors are XLR5, as prescribed in the DMX512 standard.
A male XLR5 termination plug is required on the OUT/THRU of the last
Motorised WARP
(or the
"far end of the DMX line").
•
XLR5-M plug with two 1/4W 5% 120 ohm resistors (one per data pair)
3.2.4 DMX data and termination when
WARP
is transmitting DMX
If
WARP
is used as the source of DMX i.e. as an ArtDMX-to-DMX converter, then DMX devices
can be connected to the DMX OUT/THRU connector as well as the DMX IN connector. In other
Words:
WARP
does not have to be at the start of the DMX line; it can also be ‘somewhere in the
middle’.
But in that case BOTH “far ends of the DMX line” MUST be terminated. Each termination
MUST be on both data pairs.
Note: as per the rules of DMX512 and EIA/RS-485: max. 32 DMX receivers per
WARP
.
