DMX-512 connection
If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first
unit in a DMX chain. If you wish to connect a DMX controller with other XLR outputs you will need to use adapter cables.
1 = ground 2 = minus signal (-) 3 = plus signal (+)
Connect the DMX output of the first unit in a DMX chain with the DMX input of the next unit in the chain. Always connect the the
output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected. If you use a controller with 5 pin DMX connection you
will need to use a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter.
Overhead rigging
Important
- the installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper installation can result in serious
injuries and /or damage to property. Overhead rigging required extensive experience. Working load limits should be respected,
certified installation materials should be used, the installed unit should be inspected regularly for safety.
l
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
l
Locate the unit in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The fixture must be fixed
at
least 50cm
from surrounding walls
l
The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside of areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
