INSTALLATION METHOD USING TRUSS HOOKS
Refer to the following diagram when installing the KHAMSIN with truss
hooks using omega bracket:
• Attach the clamp to the omega bracket using an M12 screw.
• Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first omega bracket into the
respective holes on the base of the unit. Turn the quick fasteners fully
clockwise.
• Install the second omega bracket.
• Insert the safety cable through the holes at the bottom of the base and
the truss or a stable attachment point. Insert the end into the hole and
tighten the safety screw.
Note: The last step is very important to ensure that the luminaire does
not fall.
DMX512 CONNECTION
Connect the DMX input (XLR connector) cable of the luminaire to the DMX
output (female XLR connector) of your controller. You can connect multiple
luminaires to this same DMX line in a daisy chain. The DMX cable must
be a shielded twisted pair that is equipped with male and female XLR
connectors.
Refer to the following diagram when connecting the KHAMSIN luminaires
in a daisy chain:
Address 129 Address 65 Address 1
DMX512 CONNECTION WITH TERMINATION PLUG
For installations where the DMX cable must extend over long distances,
or if it is located near areas with major electrical disturbance, it is
recommended to use a DMX termination plug. This helps prevent
luminaires from malfunctioning due to interference. The DMX termination
plug, composed simply of a male XLR input connector with a 120-Ohm
resistor, is soldered between pins 2 and 3. This plug must be connected
to the DMX output of the last luminaire in the chain.
Refer to the following diagram:
USING DMX VIA ART-NET
To control the KHAMSIN via ArtNet, the fixtures must be interconnected
with CAT5 RJ45 cable. Be careful to set all necessary information
regarding the ART-NET configuration with universe being used and specify
in the menu that the KHAMSIN is being controlled through ART-NET (see
OPTION DETAILS in the « OPTIONS » menu).
WARNING!
The Khamsincan only read the first hundred universes of
an ART-NET package. If you have more than 100 universes in your
network, you must use a configurable switch to filter each RJ45
output.
