Controller Operation
This section describes how to operate the light with a DMX controller.
Data Connection
The light provided 3-Pin
、
5-pin XLR connectors for data connection. The pin-out on all connectors
is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+).
There is no connection to pins 4 and 5.
To connect the data link
1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the fixture XLR input (male) socket.
2. Connect up to 31 additional fixtures output-to-input.
3. Insert a termination plug in the output of the last fixture on the link.
Data Connection Tips
•
Use DMX cable designed for DMX devices: standard microphone cable can be used for short
runs of up to 100m over long distance we recommend using true DMX cables and ALWAYS
terminate the single on the last unit in the line with a Terminator
•
Do not overload the link. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.
•
Te
rminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture. The
termination plug, which is a male XLR with a 120 ohm 0.25 watt resistor soldered between
pins 2 and 3, absorbs the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference.
Quicklock installation
•
Each Top Units must hang with half coupler clamps on the solid truss or bar.
•
On a 240v supply, to 5 units can have the power daisy chained
•
On a 120v supply, to 3 units can have the power daisy chained
•

•
Quicklock parts are aluminium, please don’t abuse them by over tightening
•
Quicklock parts may have lubricant on them, please don’t clean
