- 3 - FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS
3.1 OPERATION
Connect the supplied main cable to a socket (230V~/50Hz). Then the unit is ready for operation and can
be operated via a RDM controller or it independently performs its show program in succession. To switch
off, disconnect the mains plug from the socket. For a more convenient operation it is recommended to
connect the unit to a socket which can be switched on and off via a light switch.
3.2 LINKING
Several units may be interconnected in order to control all further slave units to the same effect of the
master unit. Use standard DMX cables to daisy chain your units together via the DMX connector on the
rear of the units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture (see page 9).
1. Connect the DMX OUT of the master unit via 3-pole XLR cable to the DMX IN of the first slave unit.
2. Connect the DMX OUT of the first slave unit to the DMX IN of the second slave unit, etc. until all units
are connected in a chain.
3.3 DMX CONFIGURATION
ARCPOINT1 is equipped with different DMX configurations ( 4Ch - 6Ch - 10Ch ) that can be accessed via RDM
controller. The tables on page 10 indicate the operating mode and DMX value. The ARCPOINT1 is equipped
with 5-pole XLR connections.
