CONNECTIONS
DMX512 control
A DMX512 data link is required in order to control the device via DMX. The device provides 3-pin and 5-pin
XLR connectors for DMX connection.
1
Connect the output of your DMX controller to the DMX input DMX IN of the device with a DMX cable.
2
Connect the DMX output DMX OUT of the device to the DMX input of the next unit in the chain. Always
connect one output to the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
3
At the last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120 Ω resistor between
Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX output of the last unit.
4
If the cable length exceeds 300 m or the number of DMX devices is greater than 32, it is recommended
to insert a DMX splitter to ensure proper data transmission.
XLR connection:
Connection to the mains
The device uses an auto-range power supply that accepts input voltages between 100 und 240 volts.
1
The device is equipped with a lockable power input connector. Fix the mains cable and turn it to the right
until it locks. Connect the device via the mains cable to a grounded mains socket. Thus the unit is
switched on.
2
To switch off the unit, disconnect the power plug.
3
Do not connect the unit to the mains voltage via a dimmer. For a more convenient operation, use a mains
outlet which is switchable.
Power supply of further devices
The jack POWER OUT allows for power supply of further devices. To interconnect several devices, connect
the jack POWER OUT to the input POWER IN of the next unit until all units are connected. Matching power
cables with PowerCon plugs are available as accessories. In this manner, up to 8 devices can be linked at
230/240 input voltage and up to 4 devices at 110/115 input voltage.
