housing. Remove the damaged fuse from its holder and replace

with exact same type fuse. Insert the fuse holder back in its place

and reconnect power.

You will need a serial data link to run light shows using a DMX-512

master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels

on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the

digital DMX signal.

The maximum recommended cable-run distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). The maximum recommended

quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.

cables will “probably” be OK, but note that they cannot transmit DMX data as reliably over long distances.

In any event, the cable should have the following characteristics:

2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield

Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.

Maximum capacitance between conductor & shield – 55 pF/ft.

Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.

Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms

Warning!!! This xture MUST only use cable and connectors which sepa-

rate chassis/case ground from cable shielding. Cabling with the shield

connected to the connector’s case/chassis may cause malfunction and

damage to the wiCICLE® or xture.
