supply has two output links, you can connect a maximum of twelve (12) color mixing
units for each ColorPower supply .
Note: Maximum total color- changer cable length per ColorPower supply should not
exceed 600 ft. (182.9 m).
Unit Addressing
Addressing each color mixing unit with a unique
number identifies it for the ColorPower supply. A
DIP switch array is located on every Dichroic
Theatre color mixing product (see Figure 2-1). You
must select a DIP switch setting for each color
mixing unit in the ColorPower supply link. The
fixture’s DIP switch setting determines the
fixture’s unit address.
You can choose any order for fixtures on a link and any DIP switch setting for a
fixture, as long as each fixture in the link is assigned a unique unit address.
Connecting Units to a ColorPower Supply Link
To connect the ColorPower to color mixing units on the link, you must use 4-pin XLR
DATAPLEX Color Changer cables. Although these cables do not ship with the
ColorPower supply, High End Systems offers them as optional accessories (see
“Optional Accessories” on page 1-7)
.
The 4-pin XLR DATAPLEX Color Changer pin designation is as follows:
• Pin 1. Black #14 (40VDC +)
• Pin 2. Red #22 (Data +)
• Pin 3. Green #22 (Data -)
• Pin 4. White #14 (40 VDC -)
To connect units to a ColorPower link:
1. Connect the female XLR connector of the 4-pin XLR DATAPLEX Color Changer
cable to the first fixture on the fixture link.
2. Continue linking the remaining ColorCommand and/or ColorMerge fixtures
together by connecting a 4-pin XLR DATAPLEX Color Changer cable from the
Data Out connector of each fixture to the Data In connector of the next fixture on
the link.
Terminating the Link
ColorPower ships with two terminators. You must use these terminators to terminate
both ends of ColorPower’s fixture link. Because you can connect two links (with six
fixtures per link) on ColorPower, this means that if you use only one link, you must
