Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the exterior of this device on a monthly basis with a dry, or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Ensure that
the device is unplugged before cleaning it.
Check that all screws are intact and secured and tighten or replace them where needed. Check all metal
parts of the device for any signs of corrosion. If corrosion is found, the device needs to be checked
thoroughly.
Power Output
The Flash FX LED is fitted with an IEC C14 power input and an IEC C13 power output. This makes it
possible to link multiple devices with one single power supply, wall socket or power block.
The fuse fitted in this device is intended to protect that single device only. The input and output of the power
supply are directly wired to each other.
Since a standard 230 V group can handle a maximum load of 16A, and each Flash LX LED consumes
energy itself, the output can only handle 9A worth of external devices. This also includes a calculated safety
margin.
DMX Terminator
When using the device in DMX mode, it is common for a ‘terminator’ to be used at the end of the DMX
circuit. A DMX terminator is a terminal resistor, consisting of a 120 Ohm resistor placed between the second
and third pins to eliminate any data reflections. Data reflections can cause strange behaviour in DMX
controlled devices.
DMX-terminators are sold read-made but it is possible to solder a 120 Ohm resistor between the second and
third pins of a standard, male XLR connector.
