in various modes to form different led effects
DMX-512 connection / connection between fixtures
XLR-connection:
If you are using controllers with this light, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller
directly with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect
DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next
fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are
connected.
Optional: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a
120 resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output
of the last fixture.
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
OPERATION
1. DMX 512 protocol
Addressing
The LED DISPLAY on the rear side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address,
which is defined as the first channel from which the item will respond to the controller. If you
set, for example, the address to channel 7, the item will use channel 7 to 14 for control. Please,
be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each item correctly
and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more items are
addressed similarly, they will work similarly. At DMX mode you can choose the address from 1
to 512.After you connect the item to the mains, the item starts running. When the item finishes
resetting, d-OO1 will flash in the led display you can then set the desired DMX address by
pressing the UP or DOWN buttons.
