4 Installation and starting up
Unpack and carefully check that there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep
the equipment packaging. To fully protect the device against vibration, dust and moisture
during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material
suitable for transport or storage, respectively.
Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for
all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.
The unit is designed for wall or tripod mounting. For this purpose, there is a mounting bracket
on top of the unit. Using the two M10 threads, the device can be mounted vertically or hori‐
zontally with suitable screws on a tripod. Alternatively, there are two bores available for wall
mounting using suitable mounting hooks and anchors (mounting hardware not included).
First, connect the loads to the terminals on the sides of the device. If you want to operate the
device in ‘DMX’ mode, establish the DMX connection to the controller. Finally, connect the
power plug of the device to a mains power socket.
Installation and starting up

Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX
device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on
to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain
is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼W).
