For truss mounting, use an appropriate clamp (not incl.) and fit an M10 bolt through the centre of the
(folded) bracket.
Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.
Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Do not connect it to a dimming pack.
The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
DMX-512 Connection
When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and
the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input [3] of the device. Multiple devices can be linked through
serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output
connectors.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum recommended
number of fixtures on a serial data link is 32 fixtures.
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance
or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the
digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω
resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket [4] of the last
device in the chain.
