WIRED DMX CONTROL
Standard 5 pin XLR connectors are located under the blue rubber sealing cap on the back of the unit. There are also two weatherproof 3 pin
Weipu SF connectors located directly below these which can be used when weatherproof DMX connections are required.
The XLR DMX connectors ARE NOT WATERPROOF! If used in wet environments, make sure the blue connector cover is closed.
When a valid DMX signal is detected, the yellow DMX indicator LED will flash on the rear of the unit and the keypad controls for the light are
disabled. These are restored one second after loss of DMX signal. After around 15 seconds of valid DMX input the OLED Display will power
off automatically
–
press any key on the keypad to turn it back on again.
The desired DMX address can be selected from the main menu. Please see the DMX Implementation Tables for more information about the
channel mapping options.
As with all DMX installations, the last unit in the chain should be terminated. This can be done through the menu system, by selecting
MENU->Advanced->DMX Terminated.
WIRELESS DMX CONTROL
Every Sky unit has built in Wireless DMX control using the SHoW DMX system from City Theatrical. By default the Show ID is set to 201. The
antenna for the unit is located underneath the power supply. An N-Type connector is utilised for the antenna, so if extended range is
required, a larger one could be installed.
When a valid SHoW DMX signal is present
on the correct channel, the blue SHOW indicator LED will flash rapidly. The text “SHOW –
x” will
also be displayed on the OLED screen. The number x denotes the signal strength from 0 to 3, where 0 is minimum and 3 is maximum.
After around 15 seconds of valid DMX input the OLED Display will power off automatically
–
press any key on the keypad to turn it back on
again.
If wired DMX is connected at the same time as the Wireless DMX is receiving data, then the wired connection will take control.
The DMX address and scenario should be set in the same mannor as for wired DMX. Please see City Theatrical documentation for more
information about the SHoW DMX system.
WIRED REMOTE DIMMER
The wired remote dimmer plugs into either of the 7 pin Weipu SF connectors located directly below the blue rubber sealing cap on the back
of the unit. This will allow access to the menu system of the unit for setup and also control of levels, cct and some other settings.
REMOVING POWER SUPPLY UNIT
To remove the power supply from the head, the safety button must be depressed, then the blue catch lifted. The power supply can now be
rotated counter-clockwise and lifted clear of the unit.
To install the power supply back onto the head, the reverse procedure is followed. The safety button must be depressed when rotating the
power supply clockwise until it latches securely to the head.
