Building a serial DMX chain:
Connect the DMX output of the first device in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next device. Always
connect one output with the input of the next device until all devices are connected. Not suitable as signal
splitter!
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 LED CLS-20 HCL 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 the desired master-mode for the master-device and the slave-mode for all slave-devices. Please refer to
the instructions under chapter Control Board.
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:
Cable Pin
International
Brown Live
L
Blue Neutral
N
Yellow/Green Earth
The earth has to be connected!
If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with a
minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation.
The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in compliance with the IEC-
standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum
fault current of 30 mA.
Lighting effects must not be connected to dimming-packs.
The device is equipped with a lockable power input connector. Plug in the power cord and turn it to the right
until it locks. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that matches the rated voltage of the
machine.
Connection between devices
On the rear panel, there is a socket (Power Out). Connect the output with the mains input of the next fixture
until all fixtures are connected.
Please note:
A maximum of 8 EUROLITE LED CLS-20 HCL may be linked together. After every 8 devices,
the fixtures must have a renewed connection with the power mains.
