If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first unit in a DMX
chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
At the last unit, you must close the DMX line with a terminating resistor. Take an XLR connector and solder a 120 Ohm resistor
between signal (-) and signal (+) and connect it to the DMX output of the last unit in the line.
This unit can communicate using RDM (Remote Device Management) via DMX512. RDM is a bi-directional communication protocol for use in DMX512
control systems, it is the open standard for DMX512 configuration and status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 line without affecting the existing non-RDM equipment. The system allows a
controller or special RDM controller to send and receive commands from specific fixtures.
The RDM function allows you, for example to remotely set the DMX start address of your fixtures. This is especially useful when the fixture is
installed in an inaccessible location. Each unit has an RDM UID (unique identification number).
Units with protection class IP65 are dust-tight and completely protected against contact (first code number). They are also protected against
splash water from any angle (second code digit). That is why this unit can also be used out‐ doors. Events units are generally only designed for
temporary use however (event lighting) and not for permanent use outdoors. The specified protection class does not make a statement about the
weather resistance of the units (resistance to changing ambient conditions as well as against the effects of sunlight and UV rays). The seals and
screw connections of the units must be checked regularly to ensure a fault-free operation.
This unit is virtually maintenance-free, but you should check the unit regularly for mechanical and electrical aspects.
Assess the operating environment and establish an inspection and cleaning schedule that follows the guidelines below:
Disconnect the unit from the power supply and allow it to cool completely before inspecting and cleaning.
•
• Check that the screws and bolts used to install the unit are securely tightened and free from corrosion.
• Check the housing, fixing points and installation points, they must not show any signs of deformation, wear or fatigue.
• Check the mechanically moving parts, these must not show any signs of wear or fatigue.
• Check the electrical power and signal cables, they must not show any damage or fatigue.
• Do not use solvents, abrasives or other aggressive products to clean the unit.
Wipe the unit and clean the glass plate with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak cleaning solution. Place the solution on the
•
cloth and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces.
• Dry the unit, connectors and contacts with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before re-powering the unit.
