output, it is generally recommended to insert a
DMX level matching amplifier (e . g . SR-103DMX
from IMG STAGELINE) .
1) Connect the input DMX IN to the DMX
output of the light controller or of another
DMX-controlled unit .
2) Connect the output DMX OUT to the DMX
input of the second DMX-controlled unit .
Proceed in the same way to connect the out-
put of the second unit to the input of the
third unit etc . until all DMX-controlled units
have been connected in a chain .
3) To prevent interference in signal transmis-
sion, in case of long cables or a multitude
of units connected in series, terminate the
DMX output of the last DMX unit in the
chain with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0 .3 W): Con-
nect a corresponding terminating plug (e . g .
DLT-123 from IMG STAGELINE) to the DMX
output jack .
4.2.2 Setting the number of DMX channels
and the start address
For separate control of all DMX units connected
to the light controller, each unit must have its
own start address . Example: If the first DMX
channel of the BEAM-40 is to be controlled by
the light controller via DMX address 6, set the
start address on the BEAM-40 to 6 . All other
DMX channels of the BEAM-40 will be auto-
matically assigned to the subsequent addresses .
Examples with different start addresses:

1) Press the button MENU repeatedly until the
display shows
2) Set the desired number of channels with the
button UP or DOWN and press the button
ENTER to confirm .
3) Press the button MENU repeatedly until the
display shows
start address .
4) Set the desired address with the button UP
or DOWN and press the button ENTER to
confirm .
5) For DMX control of the moving head, the
menu item for the start address must be
selected all the time . As soon as a DMX con-
trol signal is received, a dot will light up on
the display . The DMX functions can be found
in the next chapter .
Hint: When two or multiple BEAM-40 are synchronously
controlled via the same start address, set the moving
head of one or multiple units to the opposite pan di-
rection and / or tilt direction (chapter 4 .3) . Thus, with a
pair of units, the heads will move in opposite directions
(mirror-inverted) .
