DMX-512 control
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise
the devices will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Please note, the starting address depends upon which controller is being used.
Only use a DMX-cable and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with
the device or one device 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 device 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 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.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120
Ω
resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Connection between devices
The device is equipped with a lockable power input connector. Afix 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.
On the rear panel, there is a lockable mounted 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 devices may be linked together. After every 8 devices, the fixtures must have
a renewed connection with the power mains.
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
