3.1 Power supply of multiple
ODB-1212RGBW
If multiple ODB-1212RGBW are used, the
units can be interconnected for power sup-
ply. Do not connect the first unit to a mains
socket for the time being.
1) Use the inline jack of the cable POWER
OUT to connect the first unit to the plug
(A) of the cable POWER IN of the sec-
ond unit. Proceed in the same way to
connect the second unit to the third one
etc. until all units are connected in a
chain.
If the mains connection cables be -
tween the units are too short, use suit-
able extension cables such as ODP-
34AC (2 m) or ODP-34AC /10 (10 m).
WARNING The total current in the con-
nection cables must not
exceed 6.3 A; otherwise, a
cable fire may occur due to
overload. Therefore, only interconnect
8 ODB-1212RGBW as a maximum.
2) At the last unit, screw the protective
cover supplied onto the inline jack of the
cable POWER OUT. The cable carries
mains voltage!
3) Connect the mains plug of the first unit
to a mains socket (230 V~ / 50 Hz).

3.2 Control connections

For operation with a DMX controller or for
the master / slave mode, the units are inter-
connected via the cables DMX OUT and
DMX IN. For connection, special cables for
DMX signal transmission should be used
(e. g. cables of the CDMXN series from
"img Stage Line"). For cable lengths ex-
ceeding 150 m and when controlling more
than 32 units via a DMX output, it is gener-
ally recommended to insert a DMX level
matching amplifier (e. g. SR-103DMX from
"img Stage Line").

3.2.1 Operation with a DMX controller

1) Connect the plug (B) of the cable DMX
IN to the inline jack of the supplied cable
fitted with an XLR plug, and then use the
cap nut to screw the plug-in connection
together (fig. 1 shows the completed
connection). Connect the XLR plug to
the DMX output of the light controller by
means of an extension cable, or, if addi-
tional DMX-controlled units are used,
connect the XLR plug to the DMX output
of the last DMX-controlled unit.
2) If additional ODB-1212RGBW are used,
use the inline jack of the cable DMX
OUT to connect the first unit to the plug
(B) of the cable DMX IN of the second
unit. Proceed in the same way to con-
nect the second unit to the third one etc.
until all units are connected in a chain.
If the DMX connection cables be-
tween the units are too short, use suit-
able extension cables, e. g.
ODP-34DMX (length: 2 m) or
ODP-34DMX/10 (length: 10 m).
3) If the DMX control fails to work properly
during operation, terminate the DMX
output of the last unit in the chain with a
120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W). The easiest
way to terminate the DMX output of an
ODB-1212RGBW is to separate an ex-
tension cable ODP-34DMX and to con-
nect the resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of the
plug. Connect the plug with the resistor
to the inline jack of the cable DMX OUT.
If no terminating resistor is required,
screw the protective cover supplied onto
the inline jack of the cable.

3.2.2 Master / slave mode

In the master / slave mode, multiple ODB-
1212RGBW can be synchronously oper-
ated in the operating mode
COLOUR
: One unit (master unit) will control
the other units (slave units). As for DMX
operation, connect the units in a chain (see
chapter 3.2.1, steps 2 and 3). Do not con-
nect the cable DMX IN of the first unit in the
chain. Make sure that the plug of the cable
is weatherproof if the unit is to be used for
outdoor applications.
