Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with
the fixture or one fixture with another.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
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.
Caution:
At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120
resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Master/Slave operation
The master/slave operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master
device.
On the rear panel of the device you can find an XLR jack and an XLR plug, which can be used for
connecting several devices.
Choose the device which is to control the effects. This device then works as master device and controls all
other slave devices, which are to be connected to the master device via a DMX-cable. Connect the OUT jack
with the IN plug of the next device.
Set all Slave devices to the Slave Mode. (See instructions under Control Board).
POWER SUPPLY
The device can be operated with mains voltage and for mobile use via the internal rechargeable battery.
Mains operation
1
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable. Do not connect it to a dimming
pack.
2
The socket (Power Out) allows for power supply of further devices. A maximum of 8 fixtures may be
linked together. After every 8 devices, the fixtures must have a renewed connection with the power
mains. Matching power cables are available as accessory.
3
When operating the device via the mains, the automatic charging for the rechargeable battery is always
active even if the unit is switched off. To prevent unnecessary power consumption, always disconnect
the mains plug from the mains socket if the unit is not used for a longer period.
The occupation of the connection cables is as follows:
