2 Safety Notes

The units (DMX tester and plug-in power sup-
ply unit) correspond to all relevant directives
of the EU and are therefore marked with
WARNING The plug-in power supply unit is
supplied with hazardous mains
voltage (230 V). Leave servic ing
to skilled personnel only. Inex-
pert handling or modification
of the unit may cause an elec-
tric shock hazard.
•
The units are suitable for indoor use only.
Protect them against dripping water and
8
splash water, high air humidity, and heat
(admissible ambient temperature range
0 – 40 °C).
•
Do not set the DMX tester into operation,
and immediately disconnect the plug-in
power supply unit from the mains socket if
1. there is visible damage to one of the
units,
2. a defect might have occurred after a
drop or similar accident,
3. malfunctions occur.
The units must in any case be repaired by
skilled personnel.
•
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth, never
use chemicals or water.
•
No guarantee claims for the DMX tester
or the plug-in power supply unit and no
liability for any resulting personal dam-
age or material damage will be accepted if
the units are used for other purposes than
originally intended, if they are not correctly
connected, operated, or not repaired in an
expert way.
If the units are to be put out of
oper-ation definitively, take them to
a local recycling plant for a disposal
which is not harmful to the environ-
ment.
3 Applications
The DMX-1TEST is a versatile tool for testing
units of the light and stage effect technology
which communicate via the DMX512 proto-
col. It can both transmit and receive DMX512
signals and is therefore suitable for checking
DMX receivers (e. g. effect projectors or dim-
mers) as well as DMX transmitters (e. g. light-
ing mixers or moving light control units).
In addition, the function CABLE TEST of-
fers the facility to check a DMX cable for dif-
.
ferent errors like interruption, short circuit,
or reverse polarity.
As an alternative to the power supply via
the supplied power supply unit, the DMX-
1TEST can also be operated with recharge-
able batter ies and is thus also suitable for
mobile applications. The energy saving mode
to be adjusted and the display illumination to
be switched off increase the operating time.
The rechargeable batteries are charged via
the connected power supply unit.
