9- DMX SIGNAL CONNECTION (FOS 100 POWER SOLO):
The unit operates using a digital DMX 512 signal.
Connection between the controller and the unit or between units must be carried out
using a two pair screened ø 0.5 mm.
Ensure that the conductors do not touch each other.
Do not connect the cable ground to the DMX connector chassis.
The plug housing must be isolated. Connect the mixer signal to the DMX IN projector
plug and connect it to the next projector by connecting the DMX OUT plug on the first
unit to the DMX IN plug of the second one.
In this way, all the projectors are cascade connected.
If the display showing the DMX address flashes, then one of the following errors has
occurred:
- DMX signal not present
- DMX reception problem
For Installations where long distance DMX cable connections are needed, we suggest to
use a DMX terminator.
The DMX terminator is a male XLR 3-5 pins connector with a 120 ohm resistor Between
pin 2 and 3.
The DMX terminator must be plugged into the last unit (DMX out panel connector) of the
DMX line.
PLACE A 120 OHM RESISTOR BETWEEN PIN 2
AND 3 OF A MALE XRL CONNECTOR AND PLUG IT
INTO THE DMX OUT PANEL CONNECTOR OF THE
LAST UNIT CONNECTED TO THE DMX LINE
