3. Introduction
Thank you for buying the Mini Studio PAR RGBW 3x8W 4in1. It is a powerful device.
For a successful installation and operation, please read this manual carefully.
4. Connections
4.1.Electrical connections
If you wish to change the power supply settings, see the chapter Appendix. Connect the fixture to the
mains with the enclosed power cable and plug. The earth has to be connected.
Cable (EU) Cable (US) Pin International
Brown Black Live L
Light blue White Neutral N
Yellow/Green Green Earth
4.2.DMX connections
To make a DMX512 connection go ahead like it is described in the picture. Make sure that you use
shielded cable. 3pole or 5pole XLR cables are suitable.
Important! After the last device the line has to be terminated. In order to do this you have to solder a
120Ω resistor between the pins Data + and Data -. You can solder this end resistor on a 3pin or 5pin
XLR: Plug this adapter into the DMX output of the device.
4.3.DMX connection with terminator
Where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or the equipment is operated in an electrically noisy
environment like a disco for installations, we recommend using a DMX terminator. This prevents
corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR
connector with a 120 Ω resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output
socket of the last device in the series. Please look to the bottom drawings.
