Connection:
Pulse DMX fixtures should be connected using high quality, digital signal specific cables to help prevent
connection issues or data errors. It is also best practice to terminate all DMX lines using a DMX Terminator
are available from Pulse retailers & distributors (Code: DMXTERM-3P or DMXTERM-5P). The terminator
should be inserted into the last fixture in each DMX chain.
DMX Pin Configuration
Pin1= Ground
Pin2= Negative (-ve)
Pin3= Positive (+ve).
Care should be taken when manufacturing DMX cables to ensure above pinout is observed. Do not connect
the cable s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield/ground conductor to come in contact
with the XLR s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.
Trouble Shooting:
Unit does not power up: Check mains supply. If mains supply is correct check the fuses in all power
cords and on the fixture. Disconnect all cabling and fixtures from the mains supply before changing mains
fuses.
Unit does not respond to DMX: Check DMX cabling to ensure reliable data connection including DMX
polarity (see diagram above). Check DMX address settings in line with the DMX controller or console.
Unit does not respond to SOUND: The internal microphone features a filter to cancel out high pitched
tones including treble. The fixture will respond to the lower mid and bass tones. The microphone requires
a reasonable sound level before it will activate and trigger the next step.
