AQUA DRIVER MOUNTING
Both Aqua Driver models can be wall mounted either vertically or horizontally as required.
Two slotted holes (Ø 0.23” x 0.47” / Ø 6 x 12mm) are available on each side for mounting
purposes - see “Dimensions” on pages 19 and 20.
CONTROL INPUT CONNECTIONS
Both Aqua Driver models can either operate in
a standalone manner or be controlled by DMX.
Three-pin terminal block IN and OUT ports
are located on the front panel. In addition, the
Aqua Driver 150 also provides 3-pin XLR IN
and OUT sockets. See below for useful DMX
tips. Connect your DMX cables to the terminal
blocks as shown here:
TIPS FOR ACHIEVING SUCCESSFUL DMX CONTROL
•
Do not exceed a total cable length of 3,900 ft (1200m) without buffering.
•
Do not exceed a total of 32 devices/fixtures on a single line without buffering.
•
Use only connection cables with a characteristic impedance of 120Ω, preferably where
the DMX + and DMX – data lines are twisted around each other and the ground link exists
as a coaxial screen surrounding the inner cores, such as Belden® 9842 or equivalent.
•
Connect a 120Ω terminating resistor between the DMX + and DMX – output connections
of the final fixture.
•
Do not introduce a passive Y-split into the control cabling. If it is necessary to split the
control link in order feed fixtures located in different directions, use a powered DMX
splitter/buffer.
•
Ensure that the DMX + and DMX – connections do not become crossed at any point.
Insert the terminal block into the DMX socket
and ensure that it fully clicks into place. Repeat
for the DMX OUT if the control signal needs to
be fed to another device.
