Using a DMX line termination :
When long runs of cable are used (more than 100m), you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to
avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins
2 and 3 of a male XLR connector. This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your
daisy chain to terminate the line.
Adressing the units :
Every unit must have a DMX address in order to respond to DMX signals. The address corresponds to the
channel number on which the unit receives an incoming DMX signal sent by the DMX remote control. The DMX addressing can be
performed by programming the channel number via the display located on the base of the unit.
You can either assign the same address to your units so they all react to the same signal, or assign a unique address per unit to
control them independently.
In the example above, FUSION180 uses 17 channels.
You must skip 17 channels between each address you assign.
The address of the first unit will be 1, the second unit will be 18(1+17), the third unit will be 35 (18+17) and so on.
NB : Once switched on, the FUSION180 automatically detects any incoming DMX signal, and the display indicates"A.001" (the unit
DMX address). If the unit does not receive any DMX signal, the display will flash. In such a case, please make sure the cable is
properly plugged into the DMX input of your moving head, your remote control is switched on and the cables used are not defective.
Warning:
You cannot use the same chain to supply more than 11 FUSION180 at 220V.
When using a 12th moving head, please use a new power source
