ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION FOR TWO OR MORE UNITS IN DMX-MODE:
Use this function when you want to control the projectors by any DMX controller.
•
Connect the projectors as shown in the drawing below.
•
First put the projectors in the desired DMX-mode: see the different DMX-charts and choose the one that
suits you best.
•
Give all projectors a start address: each projector shows its start + end address, make sure that the
addresses do not overlap!
Some general information on DMX:
•
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 units with a good quality balanced DMX-cable. Both XLR-3pin and XLR-
5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more popular.
•
Pin layout XLR-3pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+)
•
Pin layout XLR-5pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+) ~ Pins4+5 not used.
•
To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interfe
rences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the
end of the chain. Never use Y-
splitter cables, this simply won’t work!
•
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
•
Each unit in the chain has its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the controller it has to
decode.
