ALCHEMY 5
1 DMX Signal Connection
• The unit operates using the digital USITT DMX512 signal.
• Connection between the light controller and the projector, or between projectors, must be carried out using a
two-pair screened ø 0.5 mm cable, and a XLR 5 or 3 pins connector.
• Ensure that the conductors do not touch each other. Do not connect the ground cable to the XLR chassis.
The housing of the plug must be isolated.
• Connect the light controller to the DMX IN panel connector of the projector; to create a link to the next
projector, simply connect the DMX OUT plug of the former to the DMX IN plug of the new fixture in line.
Following this procedure, all the projectors will be cascade connected.
PS. If the display showing the DMX address flashes, then one of the following errors has occurred:
- DMX signal not present
- DMX reception problem
The use of a DMX terminator is recommended.
The DMX terminator is a male XLR 3- or 5-pins connector with a 120
Ω
resistor between pin 2 and pin 3.
The DMX terminator must be plugged in into the last unit’s DMX OUT panel connector of the DMX line.
Place a 120
Ω
resistor between pin 2 and 3 of a male XRL
connector;
Plug the resistor into the DMX OUT panel connector of the last unit
connected to the DMX line.
