110V Connection
The fixture is equipped with 3 pin XLR Sockets for DMX input and output. The sockets are wired in parallel. Only use a shielded
twisted pair cable desi ned for RS-485 and 3 pin XLR plu s and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or
the fixture with another.

Caution!
At the last fixture the DMX si nal needs to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120
Ohm resistor between the (-) and the (+) si nal into a 3 pin XLR plu and plu it in to the
last fixture on the si nal run. Pre-manufactured terminator plu s are available for
purchase from your Me a-Lite dealer (HOS-DMXT).

4. Use hi h quality installation equipment to han unit.
When ri in a unit it is very important that you follow common safety procedures. Ri in requires extensive experience includ-
in but not limited to calculatin workin loads, material bein used and periodic safety inspections. If you lack these qualifica-
tions, do not attempt the installation yourself, instead use a professional structural ri er.
When ri in the unit always be secured with a secondary safety attachment. The installation location of the projector has ot to
be built in the way that it can hold 10 times the wei ht for 1 hour with out any harmin . Installation should be checked at least

Main Control Menu
The control board on the fixture base is your interface
to access and control all the functions on the unit. Its
dipswitch interface ives you a code view of the op-
tions. The followin will explain each function and its

DM Addressing
Turn dipswitch 10 to the Down position. Each dipswitch from 1 to 9 holds
a numerical value located below the dipswitch. Add the numerical value to
et the desired fixture start address channel. The user must assi n a
start address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the
controller.
For example, if you wish the first unit to start on address channel 85 you
will need to turn on dipswitch 1,3,5 and 7 (1+4+16+64=85)

tions that will allow the unit to run a prepro ram function. Additionally, this
unit may serve as a master unit where other units will copy it’s functions.
To create a master unit connect the XLR cable from the output to the in-
put on the next unit. And address the next unit as fixture 1.
