of 120 Ohm.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-socket: XLR mounting-plug:
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Ifyouare using the standardcontrollers,youcan connect the DMX-outputofthecontroller directly with theDMX-
input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you
needtouse adapter-cables.
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Building a master/slave-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the master fixture in the data-chain with the DMX-input of the first slave. Always
connect output with the input of the next slave until all slaves are connected (up to 9 fixtures).

The RECESSEDWASH 150 can be operated with a controller in controller mode or without the controller in
stand-alone mode.
Both modes are described in the text below.
7.Controller mode
The fixtures are individually addressed (001-505) on a data link and connected to the controller.The fixtures
respond to the DMX signal from the controller.
7.1 DMX addressing
Thecontrol panel onthe front side ofthe base allowsyouto assign theDMX fixture address,whichis defined as
the first channel from which the RECESSEDWASH 150 will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the RECESSED WASH 150 will use the channel 5 to 12 for
control.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each RECESSED WASH 150
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more RECESSED WASH 150 are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Foraddress setting, pleaserefertothe instructions under"Addressing"(menu"A001").
Controlling:
AfterhavingaddressedallRECESSEDWASH150 , you maynowstart operatingtheseviayourlightingcontroller.
Note:After switchingon, the RECESSEDWASH150will automatically detect whetherDMX512data is received
or not.If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash "A001" with actually set
address.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the RECESSED
WASH 150
- the controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the
inputconnector.
Note:It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) to the last fixture in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
7.2 Remotely controllable functions
Lamp
TheRECESSEDWASH 150 is tobeoperatedwith a CDM-SA/T150W/942lamp.
Arelayinsideof the RECESSEDWASH150 allowsyouto switchonand off thelamp via thecontrolpanel or via
your DMX-controller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
To switch On/Off the lamp,use the menu "LAMP"- please refer to "Switching On/Off the lamp ".
Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to be
coldbeforere-striking. For this reason,youhaveto wait 5 minutes (afterhavingswitchedOff the lamp beforeyou
can switch it back On again. If you try to switch On the lamp within 5 minutes after having switched it Off, the
RECESSEDWASH 150 will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period
hasexpired.The message"HEAt" willappear on the controlboarddisplayof theRECESSEDWASH 150. Ifthe
ignition of thelamp is seven times unsuccessful,on the display will appear "LA.Er.",meaningthatthelamp could
be damaged or even missed, or there could be a failure on the ignitor or ballast.
Colour - wheel
The RECESSEDWASH 150 contains a colour wheel with 12 colour positions - 11 of these with dichroic colours
andthelastonewhite.Thecolour-wheel canbepositionedbetween twoadjacentcoloursinanyposition.Itisalso
possible to rotate the colour- wheel continuously at different speeds("Rainbow effect“ in both directions).
Dimmer
The dimming (0-100%) is provided by the mechanical dimmer unit.
Shutter/Strobe
Theshutter is executedbythe mechanicalshutter unit.This unitmayalso beused forstrobe effect(1 - 8flashes
persecond).

14
8. Stand - alone mode
The fixtures on a data link are not connected to the controller but can execute pre-set programs which can be
different for every fixture.To set the program to be played,see the "Stand-alone setting" ( menu "St.AL.").
"Stand-alone operation" can be applied to the single fixture (the fixture may be set to the master /slave mode or
controller mode ) or to multiple fixtures operating synchronously.
Synchronous operation of multiple fixtures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them
is set as a master (master mode) and the rest as the slaves (slave mode).The slaves are assigned to SLA1-
SLA9 and on the certain slave address can be connected only one fixture.To set the fixture as the master or
slave , see the "Addressing" (menu "A001").
If the master fixture runs a reset or plays test(program) ,all slaves will execute these acts too.
You can't play or edit any programs on the slaves by their control panels if the master is switched on and
connected to the master/slave chain.
The master fixture starts simultaneous program start in the other slave fixtures.All fixtures have a definite,
synchronizedstarting point when playing backtheirprograms.Thenumber of runningprogram isthe sameinall
slaves and depends on the master's choice (menu "St.AL." ).Every fixture runs its program repeatedly ,starting
the program step No.1 when requested by the master .
Forexample:
If the slave fixture has a shorter program length, it will continously repeat its program until the master fixture
finishes its own program and restarts its program running (slave 1- prog.step 3 will not be finished).
If the slave fixture has a longer program length, it will restart at prog.step 1 before it completes all its prog.steps
(slave 2 - prog.step 5 will not be played)- see the picture bellow.
Note:Disconectthe fixtures from the DMXcontroller beforemaster/slave operating,otherwise datacollisionscan
occur and the fixtures will not work properly!
It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) into the input of the master fixture and into the
output of the last slave fixture in the data link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.
From the master's control panel is possible to control any slave in a master/slave chain.
