4. OVERHEAD RIGGING
WARNING: The installation must be carried out by qualied service personal
only. Improper installation can result in serious injuries and /or damage to
property. Overhead rigging required extensive experience! Working load
limits should be respected, Certied installation materials should be used,
the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons
during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
• Locate the xture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any ammable materials
and/or liquids. The xture must be xed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.
• The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where
persons may walk by or be seated.
• Before rigging, make sure that the installation area can hold minimum point load
of 10 times the device”s weight. The device should be well xed; a free swinging
mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
• Before the rst time use, it must be inspected by professional staff to make sure
safety, inspection regularly every year.
5. MAINS CONNECTIONS
Connect the device to the mains with the supplied power cable. Please note that power
voltage and frequency are the same as the marked voltage and frequency of device
when connecting power. Wire correspondence is as follow:
Cable (EU) Pin International
Brown Live L
Blue Neutral N
Yellow/Green Earth
The earth must to be connected! Pay attention to the safety! Before taking
into operation for the rst time, the installation has to be approved by an
expert.
6. DMX CONNECTION
DMX xtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain
connection is where the DATA OUT of one xture connects to the DATA IN of the next
xture. The order in which the xtures are connected is not important and has no effect
on how a controller communicates to each xture. Use an order that provides for the
easiest and most direct cabling.

CAUTION: Wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the
xtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
6.1. DMX Terminator
DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur.
In order to prevent electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control
signals, a good habit is to connect DMX output of last xture in the chain to a DMX
terminator, especially over long signal cable runs.
120ohm, 1/4W
resistor
DMX Terminator
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω (ohm), 1/4 Watt resistor
connected across Signal (-) and Signal (+), respectively, pins 2 and 3, which is then
plugged into the output socket on last projector in the chain. The connections are
illustrated below.
Complimentary signal cable can transmits signals to 20 unit xtures at most.

ENGLISH
PAR-18-18W-IP65 User manual

Signal amplier is a must to connect more xtures.
6.2.3-Pin vs 5-Pin DMX cables
DMX connection protocols used by controllers and xtures manufacturers are not stan-
dardized around the world. However, two are the most common standards: 5-Pin XLR
and 3-Pin XLR system. If you wish to connect SCENESPLIT 8 RACK to a 5-Pin XLR input
xture, you need to use an adapter-cable or make it by yourself.
