ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
STANDALONE WITH BUILT-IN CHASES:
Use this function when you want an instant show on only 1 projector.
Connect the projector to the mains and turn it on.
In the setup menu:
Load the [AUTO Use] defaults.
If needed: adapt the [Install POS.] settings
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION FOR TWO OR MORE UNITS IN DMX-MODE:
Use this function when you want to control the projectors by any DMX controller.
Connect the projectors as shown in the drawing below.
First put the projectors in the desired DMX-mode: see the different DMX-charts and choose the one that
suits you best.
Give all projectors a start address: each projector shows its start + end address, make sure that the
addresses do not overlap!
Some general information on DMX:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to
"daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected units with a balanced cable of good quality.
Both XLR-3pin and XLR-5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more popular because these
cables are compatible with balanced audio cables.
Pin layout XLR-3pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive
signal (+)
Pin layout XLR-5pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive
signal (+) ~ Pins4+5 not used.
To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use
a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won't work!
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands
from the controller it has to decode.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION VIA ETHERNET IN/OUT:
Art-Net is nothing more than a protocol for transmitting DMX512 over an Ethernet network, developed by
Artistic Licence Engineering (UK) Ltd. Thanks to the much bigger bandwidth it is possible to send more than
256 DMX-universes in one time.
This projector can be connected in such Ethernet network using routers, switches etc. The network topology
is exactly the same as for a normal PC-network. However, IP-addresses cannot be obtained via DHCP: see
the explanations in the chapter "setup menu" on how to manually setup the IP-address, Net Mask and
choose the desired DMX-universe.
IMPORTANT NOTE: this projector has both Ethernet input and output so you can daisy chain several units.
However the number of units in one chain should be limited to ±10 units to avoid unwanted signal delays. In
bigger installations you should use the "STAR-topology" using Ethernet switches (or a combination of both):
