Operating Modes
DMX Mode
In this operating mode, the effect light is controlled by the external DMX controller.
Only connect the device to a DMX controller with a DMX-512 protocol.
You can operate a maximum of 32 devices in a DMX chain without overloading the
controller.
The maximum total length of the DMX chain should not exceed 500m.
Use of XLR microphone cables may cause interferences in the DMX signal transmission.
In this case, please use special DMX high-frequency cables.
• Connect the DMX IN input to the DMX controller output.
• Use a screened XLR cable for this. The controller must have 7 free control channels.
• Connect the DMX OUT output to the DMX IN input of the subsequent device. If the effect light is the last or
only device in the DMX chain, insert a plug with a 120Ohm/0.25W terminating resistor here (between Pin2
and Pin3).
Pin assignment of the DMX connection: Pin1 = ground / Pin2 = (-) / Pin3 = (+)
Never connect the earth pin GND to the casing ground of the effect light; this may result in interference
in signal transmission caused by ground loops.
