6. Installation
Mounting the device
·Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
norms.
·The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for 1 hour
without deforming.
·The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.

V. 01 –22/10/2014 5 ©Velleman nv
·Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a
qualified technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
·Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
·Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the
installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not
attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may
result in injuries.
·Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.
·Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
·Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Do not connect it to a dimming pack.
·The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
DMX-512 connection
·When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and
the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input [4] of the VDPL300CB. Multiple VDPL300CBs can be linked
through serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and
output connectors.
·Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum recommended
number of fixtures on a serial data link is 32 fixtures.
·A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance
or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the
digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120Ω
resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket [5] of the last
device in the chain.
7. Operation
The VDPL300CB can be used in the following modes:
·stand-alone mode: automatic or sound-activated
·master/slave
·with a DMX512 controller.
7.1 Control Panel Navigation
Access the control panel functions using the four panel buttons [2] located directly underneath the
display [1]. From left to right:

·The control panel display shows the menu items you select from the menu map. When a menu
function is selected, the display will show immediately the first available option for the selected menu
function. To select a menu item, press <ENTER>.
·Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to navigate the menu map and menu options. Press <ENTER>
to access the menu function currently displayed or to enable a menu option. To return to the
previous option or menu without changing the value, press the <MENU> button.
7.2 Stand-alone mode
In stand-alone mode, the device runs one of the built-in programs: automatic or sound-controlled.
To set the device to stand-alone mode:
1. Connect nothing to the DMX input [4] of the device.
2. Press <MENU> until <AXX> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select a built-in program:

7.3 Master/slave mode
The master/slave mode allows for connecting several devices to a single master device. All slave devices
then work synchronously with the master device.
You need to set one device to master mode and all other devices to slave mode.
1. Connect all devices in series with DMX cables.
2. The first unit in the chain functions as the master fixture. Set up the unit as described in Stand-
alone mode.
3. On each of the connected slave units, set the DMX starting address to <A001> as follows: press
<MENU> until <A001> is displayed and press <ENTER>. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select
<A001> and press <ENTER>.
4. Repeat for each slave unit.
7.4 DMX mode
This mode allows you to control the fixture by any universal DMX controller.
·All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to
the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an
individual address can be set for every device.
·When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
·In case of the 6-channel VDPL300CB, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1~6), the second to 7 (1 + 6) (CH7~12), the third to 13 (7 + 6) (CH13~18), and so on.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
1. Press <MENU> until <A001> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to set the DMX starting address (A001 ~ A512) and press <ENTER>.
