DMX-512 connection
•
When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and the
other side to the male 3-pin XLR input
[9]
of the VDPL3603MHW11. Multiple VDPL3603MHW11’s can be
linked through serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and
output connectors.
•
Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum recommended number
of fixtures on a serial data link is 32 fixtures.
•
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in
an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the digital control
signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120
Ω
resistor between pins 2
and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket
[10]
of the last device in the chain.
c.
General
•
Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device and there is sufficient cooling.
•
Have a qualified electrician carry out the electrical connection.
•
Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All fixtures must be powered directly off a grounded
switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel
is used solely for 0% to 100% switch.
•
The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
