•DMX512 Chain with Termination
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 120Ωresistor
between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of
the last device in the chain. Please see illustrations.
•DMX512 Start Address
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX
controller. Enter the correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the
VDPLP64B3RGB.
You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one for
every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the VDPLP64B3RGBs 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 different addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
In the case of the 6-channel VDPLP64B3RGB, you will have to set the start address of the first
VDPLP64B3RGB to 1, the second VDPLP64B3RGB to 7 (1 + 6), the third to 13 (7 + 6) and so on.
7. Cleaning and Maintenance
1. All screws should be tightened and free of corrosion.
2. The housing, visible parts, mounting supports and the installation location (e.g. ceiling,
suspension, trussing) should not be deformed, modified or tampered with e.g. do not drill extra
holes in mounting supports, do not change the location of the connections.
3. Moving mechanic parts must not show any signs of wear and tear.
4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damage. Have a qualified technician
