CONNECTION
There are 3 main connections required, the fibre port, the mains power and the DMX
connections. Connect and secure the fibre optic connector to the fibre port before
connecting the electrical supply. Never run the illuminator with the fibre connector
unplugged. The fibre optic connector is secured into the port by removing the small
cover on the top of the illuminator (see item 11 on page 3), and tightening the
retaining screw. The cover should then be replaced.
DMX data connections are provided at the rear of the illuminator, connection details
as follows
Like all data networks the DMX cable should be terminated on the DMX OUT of the
last illuminator on the network using a terminator plug
OPERATION
This illuminator can be operated in stand alone mode, or can be connected to a
compatible DMX controller.
In Standalone Mode the Compact DMX can be used as a single independent
illuminator or in a Master Slave configuration with several illuminators connected
together using DMX leads. In Master Slave configuration all addresses are set the
same and whatever programme is selected on the “Master” DMX illuminator will also
be observed on the “Slave” illuminators.
In DMX mode the DMX controller can be programmed to control Compact DMX
illuminators either in a block (all same addresses) or independently (all different
addresses).
