Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.
2.
Always use a safety cable (ordercode 70140 / 70141).
3.
Use a 3-p XLR cable to connect the Galactic lasers.
4.
Link the units as shown in (figure 4), Connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket

Note : Link all DMX cables and set dip switches before connecting electric power
6.
Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly. Design your show
according to your DMX controller functions. See page 16 for more about DMX programming.
Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of Galactics on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.
