b. DMX512 Connections
Connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 3-
pin XLR input of the VDP100BM. Multiple VDP100BMs can be linked through serial linking. The linking
cable should be a screened two-core cable with XLR input and output connectors.
c. DMX512 Chain with Termination
d. DMX Start Address Selection
All DMX-controlled devices need a start address so that the correct device
responds to the signals. This start address is the channel number from which
the device starts to "listen" to the DMX controller. Enter the correct number
through the DIP-switches located on the backside of the VDP100BM.
You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter
an individual one for every device. When all devices have the same address, all the units will "listen" to the
control signal on one particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all
devices simultaneously. If you set different addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
In the case of the 1-channel VDP100BM, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1, the
second unit to 2 (1 + 1), the third to 3 (2 + 1), and so on.
6. Cleaning and Maintenance
1. All screws should be tightened and free of corrosion.
2. The housing, visible parts, mounting supports and the installation location (e.g. ceiling, suspension, trussing)
should not be deformed, modified or tampered with e.g. do not drill extra holes in mounting supports, do not
change the location of the connections.
3. Moving mechanic parts must not show any signs of wear and tear.
4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damage. Have a qualified technician maintain the device.
5. Disconnect the device from the mains prior to maintenance activities.
6. Wipe the device regularly with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
7. There are no user-serviceable parts apart from the fuse.
8. Contact your dealer for spare parts if necessary.

VDP100BM
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 resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR
output socket of the last device in the chain. Please see illustrations to the left.
