Additionally secure the installation with a suitable safety restraint cable or a safety net. The safety retention rope or
the net must be designed to support the effect light in the event of failure of the main support system independently
of the main attachment.
•
Make sure that the projector head of the effect light can move freely; it may not hit onto anything or be blocked.
9. DMX Connection
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 500 m.
Use of XLR microphone cables may cause interferences in the DMX signal transmission. In this case,
please use special DMX high-frequency cables.
a) Connection of a DMX Controller
Only connect the device to a DMX controller with a DMX-512 protocol.
•
Connect the port DMX IN (2) with the output of the DMX controller.
•
The controller must have up to 13 or 48 free control channels depending on the operating mode.
•
Connect DMX OUT (6) with the DMX input of the subsequent device.
•
Proceed accordingly with all other devices of the DMX chain.
•
If the effect light is the last or the only device in the DMX chain, insert an XLR plug with a 120 ohm/0.25 W
terminating resistor into the DMX OUT (6) socket (between Pin2 and Pin3).
Pin assignment of the DMX connection: Pin1 = earth / Pin2 = (-) / Pin3 = (+).
Never connect the earth pin GND to the casing earth of the effect light; this may result in interference in
signal transmission caused by ground loops.
