3. SETUP
DMX Cabling
The LED PAR has standard 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX con-
trol and daisy-chaining. Up to 32 devices can be daisy-chained
together on a single run. Standard microphone cables will
probably work OK, but DMX is a serial data transmission with
impedancespecicationsthataredifferentthananalogaudio.
CablesspecicallydesignedtotransmitDMXsignalswillalways
workbest.Asanexample,Belden©9841meetsthespecica-
tions for DMX-512 applications. The longer the cable distance,
the more important proper cable selection is.
DMX Termination
Sometimes, errors will crop up in your DMX line – especially if it
isalongrun.Whenthisisthecase,orifyoujustwanttomake
sure your DMX runs have the best chance at accurate transmis-
sion, you can use a terminator. A terminator is a 120 ohm ¼
watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male
XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This connector is inserted
inthefemaleXLRconnectorofthelastxtureinyourdaisy
chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator will de-
crease the possibility of erratic behavior. Terminators are avail-
able on the internet and from lighting retailers. If you’re handy
with a soldering iron, they are simple to build yourself!

3-pin vs. 5-pin
Some manufacturers use 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX trans-
mission. Don’t worry! The two are still compatible. Adapters are
available on the internet and from lighting retailers. If you want
to build your own, here are the proper connections:

4. OPERATION/CONFIGURATION
We here at Bargeheights don’t really care for DIP switches.
They are hard to see in the dark, and since most of us don’t
quickly think in binary, they are tricky to set properly. The
LED PAR has an LED display with a simple menu system. There
are four control buttons below the display that allow you to
navigate the control menus.
<MENU>–Goupalevelinthemenusystem;holdtoconrm
<DOWN>–Scrolltothenextlowernumberormenuselection
<UP>–Scrolltothenexthighernumberormenuselection
<ENTER> – Select the current number / menu selection
To access the main menu press the <MENU> button. Use the
<UP> or <DOWN> buttons to navigate through the menu
options. Press the <ENTER> button to select the option dis-
played, and use the <UP> or <DOWN> buttons to change the
settings. Once your changes are made press <ENTER> to ac-
cept the change. Hold <MENU> for three seconds to con-
rm the settings change.
If the LED PAR menu remains static for more than eight sec-
ondsitwillautomaticallyreturntoitslastsetting.Toexitthe
menu without making any changes press the <MENU> button.
