General:
No matter if fixed installation or touring business – complex lighting systems always require best
reliability together with relatively easy operation and maintenance features. In order to be able to
solve eventually occurring problems not only fast but also most efficiently, it is important to know
which component of the system fulfils which purpose.
This fact has been taken into consideration during the design and development of Rainbow Colour
Changers. And this is why we find the entire “intelligence” where we first expect it to be: within the
Colour Changers themselves, but not in the power supply unit. Consequently the DMX-addressing,
the selection of channels, etc... is done right on the Colour Changer itself.
The external power supply unit (PSU) combines the DMX signal with the internal 24 V DC of the
Colour Changer. These power/control signals are available on the female XLR4 outputs.
Different versions:
In order to meet your individual demands, we offer two different PSU-versions:
1.
the MICRO PSU with 1 output is able to run up to 6 Colour Changers
2.
the MAXI 4 PSU with 4 outputs can run up to 24 units
The maximum number of Colour Changers per output is restricted:

Power Supply:
The Micro PSU as well as the Maxi 4 PSU are connected with the mains via CEE22 connection. The
necessary operating voltage of the Colour Changers (24 V) is guaranteed by the opto-isolated,
overload-protected power supply.
The Micro PSU adjusts itself automatically to the operating voltage from 85 to 260 Volt. The Maxi 4
PSU is available as 110 V and 230 V version.
DMX Input /Output:
The control signal (DMX) is fed through the XLR5pol. male socket. The DMX output is a “feed
through” output, which means that the DMX signal will be daisy-chained and will also be available on
the output in case of a power failure. Rainbow PSUs are designed to put minimum strain on the DMX
signal.
