Occupation of the XLR-connection:
If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the
controller directly with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to
connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next
fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are
connected.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically
noisy environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator.
This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. For
normal products which do not have dip switches setting, the DMX terminator is simply an
XLR plug with a 120
Ω
resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into
the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain.
While on the MF-7 which with the dip Switches setting, if the DP12 is put to ON position
( downwards) the fixture gains the function of connecting with a 120
Ω
resistor, then this
unit functions as the terminator of the DMX link.
Addressing
Each projector occupies 4 channels. To ensure that the control signals are properly
directed to each projector, the projector requires addressing. This is to be done for every
single projector by changing the DIP switches as set out in this table.
The starting address is defined as the first channel from which the LIGHTING EFFECT will
respond to the controller.
Please make sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each
LIGHTING EFFECT correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data
link. If two, three or more LIGHTING EFFECT are addressed similarly, they will work
similarly.
