5. SETUP
5.1 Installation
Install the device on a plane surface or install it in rack.
Rack-installation: This device is built for 19" racks (483 mm). The rack you use should be a Double-Door-
Rack where you can open the frontpanel and the rear panel. The rack should be provided with a cooling fan.
When mounting the controller into the rack, please make sure that there is enough space around the device
so that the heated air can be passed on. Steady overheating will damage your device.
You can fix the controller with four screws M6 in the rack.
5.2 Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the power-plug.
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.
5.3 Connection with the switch packs
DMX-512:
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise
the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
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.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the SPX-405 with the DMX-input of the nearest switch pack. 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 with a terminator. Solder a 120
Ω
resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
5.4 Outputs
Output is via 4 IEC-output-sockets on the rearpanel.
Connect your loads via the output-sockets. The maximum load per channel is 1,150 W. Please note that the
maximum current of 16 A must never be exceeded.
