CONNECTING THE UNIT
Connection to 230 V mains
• Use connectors with protective earthed ground only.
• Connect the unit with controls set at minimum values.
• Check connection. Loose connections may cause
malfunction.
• Programmed settings are retained even after a power
loss. When powering up, the unit will return to its last
known settings.
Connection to a DMX-512 network
• Use standard (XLR 5) connectors. Check for loose
connections, as they are a common source of
malfunction.
• Use high-quality professional DMX cables only.
• The last strobe unit in a chain should have a TMB Arnold
(or equivalent 120 Ω termination plug) installed into its
DMX THRU XLR connector.
• It is possible to change input connections and DMX
base address while the strobe is turned on. The unit will
recognize, execute, and indicate commands even during
operation.
