Connection To The Mains; Operation; Stand Alone Operation; Master/Slave Operation - Futurelight DMH-300 CMY Bedienungsanleitung

Connection to the mains

The device uses an auto-range power supply that accepts input voltages between 100 und 240 volts.
1 Connect the device via the enclosed mains cable to a grounded mains socket.
2 Do not connect the unit to the mains voltage via a dimmer. For a more convenient operation, use a mains
outlet which is switchable.

OPERATION

With the power switch, you can switch the device on and off.
After you connected the effect to the mains, the device starts running. During the Reset, the motors are
trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards.

Stand Alone operation

In the Stand Alone mode, the DMH-300 CMY can be used without controller. Disconnect the DMH-300 CMY
from the controller and call up the internal program. Please refer to the instructions under Control Board.

Master/Slave operation

The master/slave operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master
device.
On the rear panel of the device you can find an XLR-jack (DMX Out) and an XLR-plug (DMX In), which can
be used for connecting several devices.
Choose the device which is to control the effects. This device then works as master device and controls all
other slave-devices, which are to be connected to the master device via a DMX cable. Connect the DMX
OUT-jack with the DMX IN-plug of the next device.
Set the desired Master mode for the master device. Set the respective Slave-mode for all slave-devices.
Please refer to the instructions under Control Board.

DMX-controlled operation

You can control the projectors individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different
occupation with different features. The individual channels and their features are listed under DMX-protocol.

Addressing

The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX starting address, which is defined as the first channel from
which the DMH-300 CMY will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address in the 29 channel mode to channel 30, the DMH-300 CMY will use the
channel 30 to 58 for control.
Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each DMH-300 CMY
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX-chain.
If several DMH-300 CMY are addressed similarly, they will work synchronically.
Note:
After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is
no data received at the DMX-input, the display will flash.
This situation can occur if:
- the XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the device.
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap
in the input connector.
