The
Panorama Power MK2
may operate without external DMX 512 signal. Using this function, it is possible to select the operating
mode (
STAND ALONE
or
MASTER/SLAVE
), select the program to be executed and modify timing parameters. In this mode, DMX con-
trol is inhibited.
8.1. Signal connection for MASTER/SLAVE mode
In
MASTER/SLAVE
mode it is possible to have one unit designated as
MASTER
controlling a series of
Panorama Power MK2
desi-
gnated as
SLAVE
units. Determining which
Panorama Power MK2
should be the MASTER unit is generally based only on the crite-
rion of ease of access. The following diagrams and instructions indicate the manner of connection for units to be used in this mode.
Connect the projectors via the XLR3 sockets beginning with output of the
MASTER
unit to the input of the first
SLAVE
, the output of
the first
SLAVE
to the input of the second and so on to a maximum of 10 projectors.
Coemar
supplies on the units XLR3 connectors
with an IP67 protection rating; use only similarly rated connectors so as to preserve the IP protection rating of the
Panorama Power
MK2.
Should you wish to connect in excess of 10 units, we recommend the use of a suitable opto-isolated splitter and amplifier to retransmit
the signal as required.
Plug/socket connections for XLR3
connectors:
Pin connections conform to the international standard as per the following table:
pin 1 = GND
pin 2 = data -
pin 3 = data +
ATTENTION!!
Ensure that all data conductors are isolated from one another and the metal housing of the connector.
Pin number 1 should never be connected to the device’s power supply.
We recommend the use of an XLR3 DMX terminating connectors for any unconnected sockets (both the XLR3 input
socket on the master, and the XLR3 output socket of the last slave).
The master/slave facility of the Panorama Power MK2 is not compatible with those of the Panorama Cyc Power.
No external controller or device should be present in the master/slave daisy chain (eg DMX consoles) to ensure that
no conflicting signal is present.
