Warnings and Precautions
WARNING
Laser radiation
Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation.
Attention
Use laser protective eyewear during alignment and setup.
During alignment and setup the access of unauthorized persons to the area, where the laser radiation
exceeds the spectator MPE, must be restricted. The temporary laser controlled area must be marked
accordingly.
Follow all applicable national and site-specific regulations regarding laser safety.
Stand-alone Setup
When the Galactic FX RGB-1500 is not connected to a controller or to other devices, it functions as a
stand-alone device. It can be operated manually with the control panel.
DMX Connection
DMX-512 Protocol
You need a DMX serial data link to run light shows of one or more devices using a DMX-512 controller or
to run synchronized shows of two or more devices set in a master/slave operating mode.
The Galactic FX RGB–1500 has 3-pin DMX signal IN and OUT connectors.
The pin assignment is as follows:
●
3-pin: pin 1 (ground), pin 2 (-), pin 3 (+)
Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. The number of devices that you can
control on one data link is limited by the combined number of the DMX channels of the connected
devices and the 512 channels available in one DMX universe.
To comply with the TIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link.
In order to connect more than 32 devices on one data link, you must use a DMX optically isolated
splitter/booster, otherwise this may result in deterioration of the DMX signal.
Note:
●
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 300 m
●
Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 32 devices
Attention
Connect all data cables before supplying power.
Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.
