For floor mounting installation, as standard, MINI BRICK can be used as a self
standing projector.
Moreover, as additional accessory, a bracket with 4 rubber mounting feet (code
03.LA.213) is available on demand.

10
7.2 Ceiling mounting installation
For ceiling mounting installation, it is recommended the use of appropriate clamps to
fix the unit to the mounting surface.
The supporting structure from which the unit is hung should be capable of bearing the
weight of the unit, as should any clamps used to hung it.
For outdoor application where MINI BRICK needs to be installed vertically keep the
unit display towards the floor.
ATTENTION:
A safety cable (code 0521A010) must be securely fixed to the unit’s mounting bracket
and to the support structure of the projector as shown in the picture.
Fixing clamps and safety cable are available on demand.

11

Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated place.
It is permissible to place the unit on normally flammable materials surfaces.
Suitable for mounting on normally flammable materials surfaces greater than 200°C
with some combustion time lag.
Minimum distance from the object being illuminated is 0,5 m.

13
7.8- Forced ventilation
You will note, on inspection, that the unit features various air inlets and cooling fans.
These should, under no circumstances, be blocked or obstructed whilst the projector is
in operation. Doing so could cause the fixture to seriously overheat thereby
compromising its proper operation.

The ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C.
8- INPUT / OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

14
8.1- Internal Fuse
Attention: the fuse replacement must be made by DTS personnel or
experienced person.
Wrong operations can damage the IP65 protection.
To access the internal fuse loose the 6 marked screws which fix the lateral cover on
display panel opposite side and remove the cover.
Use only replacement fuses rated T 2,5A 250V.
Paying attention to the gasket put in place the side cap and fix it with the 6 screws
previously removed.

15
9- DMX SIGNAL CONNECTION:
The unit operates using a digital DMX 512 signal.
Connection between the controller and the unit or between units must be carried out
using a two pair screened ø 0.5 mm.
Ensure that the conductors do not touch each other.
Do not connect the cable ground to the DMX connector chassis.
The plug housing must be isolated. Connect the mixer signal to the DMX IN projector
plug and connect it to the next projector by connecting the DMX OUT plug on the first
unit to the DMX IN plug of the second one.
In this way, all the projectors are cascade connected.
If the display showing the DMX address flashes, then one of the following errors has
occurred:
- DMX signal not present
- DMX reception problem
For Installations where long distance DMX cable connections are needed, we
suggest to use a DMX terminator.
The DMX terminator is a male XLR 3-5 pins connector with a 120 ohm resistor
Between pin 2 and 3.
The DMX terminator must be plugged into the last unit (DMX out panel connector) of
the DMX line.
PLACE A 120 OHM RESISTOR BETWEEN PIN 2
AND 3 OF A MALE XRL CONNECTOR AND PLUG IT
INTO THE DMX OUT PANEL CONNECTOR OF THE
LAST UNIT CONNECTED TO THE DMX LINE

addresses on the mixer:
Projector 1 A001
Projector 2 A011 If you want to select the next projector, just add “10”
Projector 3 A021
….. A….
projector 6 A051
9.2 Selecting the DMX address
1) Press the UP-DOWN key until you reach the required DMX address. The numbers
on the display will start to flash (but the new DMX address hasn't yet been set).
2) Press ENTER to confirm your selection. The numbers on the display will stop
flashing and the projector is now controlled by the new DMX address.
TIPS: if you keep pushed the UP or DOWN keys, the channels are calculated more
quickly and you get a faster selection.
2) Press ENTER to confirm your selection. The numbers on the display will stop
flashing and the projector is now controlled by the new DMX address.
