INSTALLATION
CONNECTION
-
FOR DMX REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
There are three connections required – the fiber port, the DMX cables and the mains supply
cable. The fiber port should be connected first before the mains supply. Connect and secure the
fiber optic connector into the collar and the front of the unit and secure using the M5 knurled
locking screw. Ensure the fiber optic connector is fully inserted before tightening the locking
screw.
Never run the luminaire with the fiber optic connector out of the collar.
Wire up using the DMX cable from the DMX control system. Solder the cables to the 3 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 illuminator.
Plug the IEC connector into the IEC socket and then plug the mains connector into a local mains
supply. Switch on power, the mains indicator will light and the illuminator is ready for use.
If no light is produced consult the TROUBLESHOOTING section in this manual.
REMOTE DIMMING NOTES:
• Always use an approved CAT5 cable
• Use a 10kΩ linear potentiometer connected across pins 4, 5 and 7 as detailed on page 6.
See Accessories in Technical Specification section at end of this document for UFO CVD1
• The CVD1 is designed to be fitted to the back of a one gang faceplate
• 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 30 devices to a single DMX universe unless using and approved
interface or splitter
• 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 2 or 5 channel device. Always leave sufficient channels free when addressing multiple
Quasar luminaires i.e. address 001,003, 005 (for 2channel DMX), 001,006,011 (for 5 channel
DMX)
