DMX Controller240V Mains input
Operating instructions
Setup:
Connect a DMX signal cable from a lighting console or xture into the DMX Input via the 5-Pin male
connector on the side panel. The HS2 has 2 outputs each with a 5-pin XLR connector for each DMX
output. From each DMX output a signal cable may be connected with up to 32 xtures per signal line,
and up to 100m cable length. Connect the HS2 to a suitable 240VAC 50Hz mains supply via the
PowerCON mains inlet.
LED indicators:
The HS2 is tted with signal and DC indicators. Under normal conditions, with DMX signal passing
through the unit both LEDs will be illuminated. The DMX LED indicates the presence of a DMX signal.
The DC LED indicates the DMX drive circuit is functioning correctly.

Setting the DMX address:
The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each xture requires a “start address”
from 1- 512. A xture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel
indicated by the start address. For example, a xture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was
addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100,101,102,103,104,105
and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the
chain starts at 107.
DMX 512:
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent
xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the xture.
DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT”
XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal).
DMX linking:
DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together
and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the shortest
cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not inuence the
DMX addressing. For example; a xture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in
a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a xture is assigned a
DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit,
no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
This xture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of the unit.
Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input/output,
see image below.
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Termination reduces signal transmission
problems and interference. It is always
advisable to connect a DMX terminal,
(resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between pin 2
(DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last xture.

Notice:
Be sure to follow the diagrams below when making your own cables. Do not connect the cables
shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLRs
outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.
Special note:
Line termination:
When longer runs of cable are used,
you may need to use a terminator on
the last unit to avoid erratic behaviour.
Using a cable terminator will decrease
the possibilities of erratic behaviour.
(3-pin - Order ref: CABL90, 5-pin - Order ref: CABL89)
5-pin XLR DMX connectors:
Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR xtures
may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a
3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The diagram below details the correct cable conversion.
