Connecting the Device

Assembly
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
1. Take out your VDPLBPX from the package. We recommend assembling the device on a flat surface.
2. Connect each string to the controller. If desired, you can connect multiple strings into one output,
provided that the total length of a single string does not exceed 6 m.
3. Make sure to terminate each string with a signal cable termination.
Power
Connect the device to the mains with the power plug.
Power all devices directly off a grounded switched circuit.
Do not connect the device to a rheostat or dimmer circuit, even when using the rheostat or dimmer
channel solely for 0 % to 100 % switching.

Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
DMX-512 Connection

When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and the
other side to the male XLR input of the device. Multiple devices can be linked through serial linking.
The linking cable shall be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.

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 of the last device in
the chain.
7. Operation
The device can be used in the following modes:

stand-alone mode

master/slave

with a DMX-512 controller.
