- 2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 MOUNTING
The CRYSTAL may be set up on a solid and even surface. By means of the fixing facilities of the baseplate,
the unit can also be mounted upside down to a cross arm (fig.3). For fixing, stable mounting clips are
required. Always ensure that the unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. The
mounting place must be of sufficient stability and be able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s
weight. When carrying out any installation, always comply scrupulously with all the regulations (particu-
larly regarding safety) currently in force in the country in which the fixture’s being used.
Always additionally secure the projector with the safety rope from falling down. For this purpose, fasten
the safety rope at a suitable position so that the maximum fall of the projector will be 20 cm.

3.4 SLAVE RECEIVE MODE
This mode will allow you to link up the units together without a controller. Choose a unit to function as the
Master. The unit must be the first unit in line; other units will work as slave with the same effect.
AMaster unit can send up to 3 different data groups to the Slave units, i.e. a Master unit can start 3 dif-
ferent Slave units, which run 3 different programs. The Master unit sends the 3 program parts in a conti-
nuous loop.
The Slave unit receives data from the Master unit according to the group which the Slave unit was assig-
ned to.
For example, if a slave device is set to Receive Part 1, the Master unit Slave unit will send the automated
Chase Part 1; if set to Receive Part 2, the Chase Part 2 Slave units will receive from the Master.
To set the drive as a slave, proceed as follows:

3.13 CONNECTION OF THE DMX LINE
DMX connection employs standard XLR connectors. Use shielded pair-twisted cables with 120Ω imped-
ance and low capacity.
The following diagram shows the connection mode:
ATTENTION
The screened parts of the cable (sleeve) must never be connected to the system’s earth, as this would
cause faulty fixture and controller operation.
Over long runs can be necessary to insert a DMX level matching amplifier.
For those connections the use of balanced microphone cable is not recommended because it cannot
transmit control DMX data reliably.
• Connect the controller DMX input to the DMX output of the first unit.
• Connect the DMX output to the DMX input of the following unit. Connect again the output to the input
of the following unit until all the units are connected in chain.
• When the signal cable has to run longer distance is recommended to insert a DMX termination on the
last unit.
3.14 CONSTRUCTION OF THE DMX TERMINATION
The termination avoids the risk of DMX 512 signals being reflected back along the cable when they reach-
es the end of the line: under certain conditions and with certain cable lengths, this could cause them to
cancel the original signals.
The termination is prepared by soldering a 120Ω 1/4 W resistor between pins 2 and 3 of the 5-pin male XLR
connector, as shown in figure.
