is the input and the Female XLR connector is the output. The first  

 

unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connector only.  

 

The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only.  

 

For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture.

2.  Select a MB DMX II to be the “master” unit. Locate the dip-   
 

switches on the side of the unit and flip dipswitch 10 to the “on”  

 

position.  

3.  F

ollow the chart on page 14 to select a desired rotation speed  

 

and direction. Be sure to note that this  selection will be universal  

 

throughout all motors in the chain.

4.  For all other motors in the chain (slaves) located the dipswitches  

 

on the side of the units and be sure dipswitch 10 is in the “off”  

 

position.

5.  Connect main power to all the motors and they will immediately  

 

begin to rotate to the presets of the “master” unit.

6.  The optional MINI

/C

 Blackout Controller may be used with this  

 

function for to stop motor rotation.

Universal DMX Control:

 

This function allows you to use a univer-

sal DMX-512 controller such as the American DJ

®

 DMX Operator™ or 

Show Designer.™ to control rotation speed, rotation direction, and the 

built-in power sockets (usually for lamps). Operating through a DMX 
controller  allows  you  the  freedom  to  create  unique  and  customized 
programs tailored to your specific individual needs.
1.  The MB DMX II™ uses two DMX channels. Channel one controls  
 

power sockets located on the side of the unit. Channel two    

 

control the motor’s rotation speed and direction.

2.  To control your motor in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures  
 

on pages 7 - 9 as well as the set-up specifications that are included

   with your DMX controller. 

3.  Use the DMX controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture  
 

traits. A list of the traits is located on page 13.

4.  This will allow you to create your own programs.
5.  When using a DMX controller and setting up for DMX operation  

 

follow the DMX addressing procedure in your controller’s manual.  

 

All fixtures must follow a specific DMX addressing protocol for  

 

proper operation in DMX mode. 

6.  For help operating in DMX operation consult the manual included  

 

with your DMX controller.

7.  For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on  
 

the last fixture.

Mounting:

 

The MB DMX II™ ships with a built-in rigging point and 

two large holes in the base of the unit (that are to be used for safety 
cables). The rigging point is located on the bottom of the unit. This rig-

ging point is secured to the fixture by two large Phillips screws. When 
the  rigging  point  is  not  to  be  used  and  when  the  fixture  is  shipped 
from the manufacture, the point is shipped inverted (inside the bottom 
of the unit).  When the fixture is to be hung by truss or other means, 
please use the rigging point and secure the fixture with safety cables. 
Always be sure to firmly secure the rigging point to the unit. The MB 

DMX II ™ is to mounted in bottom-up position to a ceiling or may hung 
from truss using a C-Clamp rated at 50 pounds or greater.

This  unit  is  equipped  with  a  built-in  safety  breaker.  This  breaker  is 
designed to close the power circuit in the event of an internal short 

or power surge. This will reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire and 
protect the circuitry. To reset the breaker, push the breaker button in 
until you hear it “pop” back in to place. If the breaker continues to pop, 
stop using the unit and contact our customer support team, the unit 

may need to be returned for service.
