Follow these steps to use a safety cable (not
included) to secure the fixture to a truss. We
recommend using a safety cable with a
diameter of at least
5 mm
and a load
capacity of at least
272 lbs.
(
124 kg
).
Linking
When using multiple Gesture Beam 500 fixtures, you can link (“daisy-chain”) them so that each each fixture
supplies
power
and/or sends
DMX data
to the next one. This helps reduce clutter in your cabling and save
you setup time.
You do not have to link fixtures for both power and DMX control; you can link them for either purpose
independently. For instance, you could link 8 fixtures together for DMX control while linking only 4 of those
same fixtures together for power (powering the other 4 fixtures separately).
Power
Use a standard IEC power cable to connect the
Power Out
of one fixture to the
Power In
of another. As
long as the first fixture is connected to a power outlet, any of the linked fixtures can remain off and still
supply power to the next one.
Important:
To prevent undue damage to your fuses, we recommend linking no more than
6
fixtures in the
same chain.
DMX
Use a standard 3-pin DMX cable to connect the
DMX Out
of one fixture to the
DMX In
of another. Your
connected DMX controller will send its data to the fixtures in sequence. All fixtures in this chain will receive
all DMX data.
