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.
 Select one of the following modes in the setup menu:
 SOUND mode: if you want chase programs running to the rhythm of the beat. See the section "setup
menu" for more information on the settings.
 STANDALONE mode: if you want chase programs running automatically but you want a certain
control over the selected chase. See the section "setup menu" for more information on the settings.
 AUTO RUN mode: if you want chase programs running automatically. See the section "setup menu"
for more information on the settings.
STANDALONE MASTER/SLAVE WITH BUILT-IN CHASES:
Use this function when you want an instant show on only 1 projector.
By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit will control the other units to show a
synchronized automatic or sound activated light show.
 Connect the projectors as shown in the drawing below
 Setup of the master: exactly the same procedure as the "STANDALONE" setup.
 Setup of the slaves: all slaves should be set to "SLAVE MODE", See the section "setup menu" for more
information on the 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.
