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 device 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 device in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next device. Always
connect one output with the input of the next device until all devices are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120
resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX output of the last fixture.
Master/Slave operation
The master/slave operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master
device.
On the rear panel of the device you can find an XLR jack and an XLR plug, which can be used for
connecting several devices.
Choose the device which is to control the effects. This device then works as master device and controls all
other slave devices, which are to be connected to the master device via a DMX-cable. Connect the OUT jack
with the IN plug of the next device.
Set the M
ASTER
device to one of the Stand Alone modes (C-- or P--). The S
LAVE
device can only be set via
the IR-4 remote control.
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:
Cable
Pin
International
Brown Live L
Blue Neutral N
Yellow/Green Earth
The earth has to be connected!
If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with a
minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation.
The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in compliance with the IEC-
standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum
fault current of 30 mA.
Lighting effects must not be connected to dimming-packs.
On the rear panel, there is an IEC socket (Power Out). Connect the output with the mains input of the next
fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Please note: A maximum of 8 devices may be linked together. After every 8 devices, the fixtures must have
a renewed connection with the power mains.
