3.5 Connections in "DMX" mode
DMX is the abbreviation for digital multiplex and allows the digital control of several DMX devices via a common
control cable.
Connect the DMX input of the unit to the DMX output of a DMX controller or other DMX device. Connect the output
of the first DMX device to the input of the second and so on to form a series circuit
DMX connectors:
A three-pin XLR socket serves as a DMX output, a three-pin XLR connector serves as a DMX input.
For installations with very long DMX cable paths or high electrical interference, such as in a discotheque, it is
recommended to use a DMX terminator. The DMX termina
tor is connected in an XLR connector as a 120 Ω
resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is plugged into the last output socket of the DMX line.
3.6 Connections in "Master / Slave" mode
When you configure a group of devices in the "Master / Slave" mode, the first device controls the others and
allows an automatic or music-controlled and synchronized show. This feature is especially useful for starting a
show without great programming. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the DMX input of the first slave
device. Then, connect the DMX output of the first slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device, and
so on.
"Slave" mode: Can be set via IR remote control
3.7 Stand-alone operation:
The "SlimPAR1212 PRO" can also be used in stand-alone mode without a DMX controller. Disconnect the
"SlimPAR1212 PRO" from the controller and call the pre programmed program
Part 4. Troubleshooting:
The device does not work, no light:
Check the mains connection and the main fuse.
No response to the DMX controller:
Check the DMX connectors and cables for correct connection. Check the address settings and the DMX polarity.
Check whether the DMX cables are near or next to high voltage cables. Try another DMX controller.
