Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution:
At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120
resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:
Cable Pin
International
Brown Live
L
Blue Neutral
N
Yellow/Green Earth
The earth has to be connected!
If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with a
minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation.
The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in compliance with the IEC-
standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum
fault current of 30 mA.
Lighting effects must not be connected to dimming-packs.
The device is equipped with a lockable power input connector. Plug in the power cord and turn it to the right
until it locks. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that matches the rated voltage of the
machine.
OPERATION
After you connected the effect to the mains, the BE-200 Barrel Effect starts running. During the reset, the
motors are trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards.
Stand Alone operation
In the Stand Alone mode, the BE-200 Barrel Effect can be used without controller.
Disconnect the BE-200 Barrel Effect from the controller and call the internal program.
Please refer to the instructions under Control Board.
DMX-controlled operation
You can control the devices individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different
occupation with different features. The individual channels and their features are listed under DMX-protocol.
Addressing
Each device occupies 8 channels. The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX starting address. The
starting address is defined as the first channel from which the BE-200 Barrel Effect will respond to the
controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 9, the will use the channel 9 to 16 for control.
