s (without DMX signal) and set one or more
VDPLW1600
s into sound-
activated mode (see “

The master device will be randomly selected as one of the sound-activated fixtures. The master device is
not fixed and can switch to another sound-activated fixture at any time.

DMX512 Connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 3-
pin XLR input of the
VDPLW1600
. Multiple
VDPLW1600
s can be linked through serial linking. The linking cable
should be a two-core screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
•
DMX512 Chain with Termination
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a
long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator
prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is
simply an XLR plug with a 120
Ω
resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into
the XLR output socket of the last device in the chain.
Please see illustrations.

DMX Start Address Selection
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals. This start
address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX controller. Enter the correct
number and read it from the display located on the base of the
VDPLW1600
.
