3.3 Connections in the "DMX" mode:
DMX is the abbreviation for Digital Multiplex and enables the digital control of several DMX devices via a common
control line.
Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX device. Connect the
output of the first DMX device to the input of the second and so on to form a series connection
DMX connections:
A three-pin XLR socket serves as a DMX output, a three-pin XLR plug serves as a DMX input.
For systems with very long DMX cable runs or high electrical interference, such as in a discotheque, it is
recommended to use a DMX terminator. The DMX terminating resistor is implemented in an XLR connector as a
120
Ω resistor between pin 2 and 3, which is plugged into the last output socket of the DMX line.
3.4 Connections in the "Master / Slave" operating mode:
If you configure a group of devices in "Master / Slave" mode, the first device controls the others and enables an
automatic or music-controlled and synchronized show. This function is particularly useful for starting a show
without much programming effort. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the DMX input of the first slave
device. Then connect the DMX output of the first slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device and so
on.
3.5 Stand-alone operation:
The "COBPAR100W" can also be used in stand-alone operation without a controller. To do this, disconnect the
"COBPAR100W" from the controller and call up the pre-programmed program.
