Installation
Install the unit on a plane surface or in your rack. When choosing the installation spot make sure that there is
enough space around the unit for ventilation or that heated air from the rack can be passed on to improve
heat radiation. Steady overheating will damage the unit.
DMX512 Connection
Only use a stereo shielded cable in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
Occupation of the XLR connection:
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 supply unit to the power input jack and the mains plug to a mains outlet. Always
disconnect the mains connector when you wish to change connections, move the unit to a different place or
if it is not used for a longer period.
