•
Give all projectors a start address: each projector shows its start + end address, make sure that the
addresses do not overlap!
Some general information on DMX:
•
The DMX-
protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to “daisy chain”
your DMX controller and all the connected units with a good quality balanced DMX-cable. Both XLR-3pin and XLR-
5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more popular.
•
Pin layout XLR-3pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+)
•
Pin layout XLR-5pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+) ~ Pins4+5 not used.
•
To prevent stra
nge behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the
end of the chain. Never use Y-
splitter cables, this simply won’t work!
•
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
•
Each unit in the chain has its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the controller it has to decode.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STANDALONE OPERATION
•
Connect the projector(s) to the mains.
•
Make sure that the option
“No DMX” in the setup MENU is set to: Standalone
•
You can now use the
“Color Temp” knob (15) and “Dimmer” knob (16) to set the desired color temperature
and light output.
DMX OPERATION
•
Connect all units together. Refer to the chapter “Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-mode”
to learn how to do this (don’t forget to address all units properly!)
•
Connect all units to the mains and turn on the DMX controller.
•
Since each unit has its own DMX-address, you can control them individually. Remember that each unit can
use a different number DMX-channels, depending on the DMX-mode you have selected in the MENU.

MAINTENANCE
•
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
•
Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.
During inspection the following points should be checked:
•
All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be
corroded.
•
Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any
deformation.
