CONNECTIONS
DMX512 control
A DMX512 data link is required in order to control the device via DMX. The device provides 3-pin XLR
connectors for DMX connection.
1 Connect the output of your DMX controller to the DMX input DMX IN of the light set with a DMX cable.
2 Connect the DMX output DMX OUT of the light set to the DMX input of the next unit in the chain. Always
connect one output to the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
3 At the last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120 Ω resistor between
Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX output of the last unit.
4 If the cable length exceeds 300 m or the number of DMX devices is greater than 32, it is recommended
to insert a DMX level amplifier to ensure proper data transmission.
XLR connection:
Interconnecting several devices (master/slave operation)
Several devices may be interconnected (max. 32). Then all slave units can be synchronized and controlled
with the master unit without the need for a DMX controller. The devices must be set to the corresponding
operating modes.
Connect the DMX output of the master unit to the DMX input of the first slave unit. Then connect the DMX
output of the first slave unit to the DMX input of the second slave unit, etc. until all units have been
connected in a chain. Make sure the master unit is the first in the chain. Do not connect a DMX controller to
the DMX input of the master unit.
Set the desired master mode for the master-device, as described in chapter
Menu Structure
. Set the DMX
address 001 for all slave-devices. The devices set in this manner can now be controlled by the master unit.
