5. SETUP
5.1 Installation
Install the device at a vibration-free, oscilation-free and fire-resistant location.
Connect the connection cable of the power-unit with the DC IN-socket. Plug the power unit into your outlet.
5.2 Sound-control
The sound-control works via the built-in microphone or via the sound input socket.
Connect the sound-signal from the mixer (e.g. Master 2) with the Jack-socket on the rear panel (input
sensitivity 0.1 V - 1 V).
Please note:
The controller comes without pre-programmed programs. These must first be programmed by
the user. You can select one of the 4 chaser in order to test the sound-control.
5.3 Connection with the dimmerpacks
DMX-512:
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise
the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with
the fixture or one fixture with another.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the FD-4/8/12 with the DMX-input of the nearest dimmerpack. 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 with a terminator. Solder a 120
resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
