DIMENSIONS DIAGRAM
SAMPLE WIRING DIAGRAM
Following is a sample wiring diagram for a multiple fixture installation. Note
that the final fixture must have a DMX Terminator plugged into the DMX
Out connector.

7
DMX TERMINATION
As with all DMX devices, the last unit in any chain must have
a DMX terminator connected to the DMX Out connector If
using just a single light, connect a DMX terminator to the
DMX Out connector.
A DMX terminator is a DMX plug with a 120-ohm, 1/4-watt resistor soldered
between pins 2 and 3.

nodE FUNCTION
The nodE function serves as a speed limiter for manual dims and fades.
When set to nod0, any manual dims or fades will occur in real time,
meaning that the light will dim or fade as fast as you move the slider. The
other nodE values (1-4) are progressively slower than real time. It is
recommended to use the nod1 value if using a low-res DMX controller.

MASTER/SLAVE MODE
Whenever the light is set to a mode other than a DMX address of Slave
mode (SL.AU), the fixture is in Master mode. For example, when set to
Sound Activation mode (So.UA), it is in Master mode. You can daisy-chain
additional fixtures to the Master fixture using 3-pin DMX cables. All other
connected fixtures must be set to Slave mode (SL.UA) and will perform the
same functions as the Master fixture. Note that the final fixture in the daisy-
chain must have a DMX terminator connected to the DMX Out connector.
Note that you cannot use a DMX controller when connecting multiple
lights in Master/Slave mode.
