Setup
DANGER
Laser radiation!
During setup follow the instructions specied in section “Laser safety” on page 4.
The required connections depend on the operation mode of the device.
Notice
Malfunction or damage to equipment!
For failure-free operation of the DMX chain, use dedicated DMX cables. Never use ordinary microphone
cables.
Never connect the DMX output to audio devices such as mixers or ampliers. The voltages used on the DMX
lines may severely damage the audio input circuits.
Connections in DMX mode
Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output socket of a DMX controller or another DMX device.
Connect the output of the rst DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on to form a daisy chain.
Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain is terminated with a 120-Ω resistor.
When the device is congured for DMX mode, but no DMX signal is being received, the display ashes.
Connections in master/slave mode
When you congure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the rst unit will control the other units for an au-
tomatic, sound-activated, synchronized light show. This function is ideal when you want to start a show imme-
diately. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the DMX input of the rst slave device. Then connect
the DMX output of the rst slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device and so on.
