DMX IN
If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly
with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other
XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture.
Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator:
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy
environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in
preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an
XLR plug with a 120 resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output XLR
socket of the last fixture in the chain.
Caution:
At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω
resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the
last fixture.
Power connection
Power Requirements
The FR-50T luminaire operates on 100 to 240 volts AC (+/- 10%, auto-ranging). The luminaire contains
an auto-ranging power supply.
Connection with the mains:
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.

Operation
The FR-50T can operate in three different modes. In each mode you can run the fixture as a stand alone
fixture or in a master/slave confiugration. This next section will detail the differences in the operating
modes.
Addressing
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture
responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from which
the fixture starts to listen to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation
