Installation
On the rear panel of the LED DMX color changer you can find an XLR-jack (DMX Out) and an
XLR-plug (DMX In), which can be used for connecting several devices. Choose the device
which is to control the effects. Connect the DMX OUT-jack with the DMX IN-plug of the next
device.
DMX-512 connection / connection between fixtures
The wires m ust not com e into contact w ith each other.
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 operation mode
Addressing
After you connect the item to the mains, the item starts running. During the Reset, the motors
are trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards. Turn the objective-lens for adjusting
the focus in order to obtain a sharp projection. The four-digital LED display on the back side of
the item 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 12 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. When the item finishes resetting, A-OO1 will flash in the led display and then set
the desired DMX address by pressing the UP or DOWN buttons.
DMX Controlling:
After having addressed all items, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller. After switching on, the item will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is
received or not. If the data is received, the red led dot in the display flashes.
