ELECTRICAL INSTAL ADDRESSING
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
Every time you turn the unit on, it will show a welcome message on the display and move all the motors to
their ‘home’ position and you may hear some noises for about 20 seconds. After that the unit will be ready to
receive DMX signal or run the built-in programs.
Electrical installation for several units on a DMX line:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment.
You need to “daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected light effects with a
good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due
to interferences, y
ou must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use
Y-cables to split the DMX-line, instead use a good quality DMX splitter!
Each unit in the chain must have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the controller
it has to decode.
HOW TO SET THE RIGHT STARTING ADDRESS:
Refer to the previous chapter (DMX-512 address setting) to learn how to set the starting address on this unit.
The starting address of each unit is very important. Unfortunately it is impossible to tell you in this user
manual which starting addresses you have to use because this completely depends on the controller you will
use… So please refer to the user manual of your DMX-controller to find out which starting addresses you
must set.
DMX-CONFIGURATION:
The projector has 3 different DMX-modes, 14, 14+ and 27 channels.
