SETUP
DMX512 connection
Use a DMX cable and 3-pin XLR plugs and connectors in order to connect the foot switch to the DMX chain. If you
wish to connect fixtures with other XLR outputs, you need to use adapter cables.
1 Connect the DMX output of the controller to the DMX input of the first light effect unit.
2 Connect the DMX output of the first fixture in the DMX chain to the DMX input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output to the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
3 At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. For this solder a 120 Ω resistor
between signal (–) and signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last fixture.
4 If the cable length exceeds 300 m or the number of DMX devices is greater than 32, it is recommended to
insert a DMX level amplifier to ensure proper data transmission.
Connection to the mains
Connect the power adapter provided to the corresponding input on the controller and to a mains socket. After the
operation, disconnect the mains plug unit from the socket, to prevent unnecessary power consumption.
Sound control
For sound-controlled run of a chase it is possible to connect an audio unit with line output (e.g. CD player, mixer)
to the jack AUDIO (sensitivity 0.1-1 V). When connecting the audio unit to the jack, the internal microphone is
switched off.
