Installation.
Connect the IQ-MX80 to the 230V mains supply with the lead
supplied.
•
Brown = live • Blue = neutral • Green/Yellow = earth
• The IQ-MX80 must be earthed to ensure safety and
correct operation of the touch pads.
If sound activated operation is required, connect a sound
signal, either 0dBm from the line-level output of a mixer, or the
speaker output from an amplifier, to the sound input jack.
Great care should be taken not to connect the sound input to
the DMX-output socket, as this may destroy the internal
electronics (the DMX line-driver)
Connect the DMX output from the IQ-MX80 to the DMX input
of the nearest lantern. The DMX output socket is a 3-pin XLR. Pin
connections are as follows:
Pin 1 = ground
connect to sleeve on stereo ¼" jack
or Pin 1 on 5-pin XLR
Pin 2 = Data +
connect to tip on stereo ¼" jack
or Pin 3 on 5-pin XLR
Pin 3 = Data −
connect to ring on stereo ¼" jack
or Pin 2 on 5-pin XLR
On a 3-pin XLR, Pin 3 is the one in the middle.
Refer to the “externally controlled” section of the lantern user
guide for further information on connection.
Portable Appliance Testing
The IQ-MX80 should be checked for Electrical Safety annually,
and if it is hire equipment, before it is hired out. A high-voltage
test (at 500V or 1000V) should be carried out between live and
earth, and an earth bonding test between the case and the earth
connection (at 6A or 10A). Insulation resistance should be
greater than 10M
W
and earth bonding resistance less than
0.5
W
. A high voltage test may also be carried out between the
