OPERATION
There are three connections required – the fiber multi-port, the DMX cables and the mains
supply cable.
The fiber multi-port should be connected first before the mains supply. Connect all the
individual fiber optic ferrule connectors securely into the correct aperture in the fiber optic
multi-port on the top of the unit. Ensure each fiber optic connector is fully inserted into the
correct numbered aperture as detailed on page 4.
Never run the luminaire with the fiber optic ferrule connectors out of the multi-port
apertures.
Wire up using the DMX cable from the DMX control system. Solder the cables to the 5 pin XLR
male and female plug and socket using pin outs as detailed below and plug in to the
connectors on the rear of the luminaire. The image below shows the pin orientation of the
connectors actually fitted to the light source.
Plug the IEC connector into the IEC socket of the DC power supply unit and then plug the mains
connector into a local mains supply.
Switch on power and the light source is ready for use.
If after using the control and program buttons and display as detailed in the operation section
of this manual, no light is produced consult the TROUBLESHOOTING section in this manual.
•
Always use an approved DMX cable
• Always “daisy chain” a DMX cable or universe
• Never use a T joint on a DMX cable or universe, unless using and approved interface or splitter
• Never connect more than two Nebula units to a single DMX universe unless configured for
master/slave operation (master/slave - Nebula units using the same address).
• Always terminate the last device on a DMX universe by connecting a 120 ohm resistor across
DMX+ and DMX- across the last output connector
• This is a 60 channel DMX device always ensure sufficient channels are available after the first
address
