3. Make sure you have opened the X, Y axis lock and, after that, power on the unit.
Attention
BEAM 198 MKII includes a DMX cable with 3 contact pins:
Pin 1: Ground
Pin 2: Connect it to the negative pin
Pin 3: Connect it to the positive pin
The DMX cable must use the professional shielded twisted pair cable. Standard loudspeaker cable is
not reliable to control the long-range data. 24AWG cable is suitable. For more than 300 meters long-
distance signal transmission a \ DMX 512 signal amplifier must be added.
Don't overload the connection. One continuous connection can only support up to 30 devices.
If a DMX512 splitter is used, follow these instructions:
At first, connect the DMX512 terminal from the controller to the DMX input in the first device. Use
another cable to connect the DMX output to the DMX input of the second device, and so on. To prevent
system errors, the last device in a DMX chain needs to be equipped with a terminating resistor (120
ohm, 1/4 Watt).
BEAM 198 MKII has on its front panel a touch display in order to navigate through several menus and
select functions, settings or information. Before turning on the device, make sure the PAN and TILT
locks ARE UNLOCKED. Connect the device to an adequate power supply point and the DMX signal from
a console.
To connect more than one unit in parallel, please, follow this draw. The output of the first unit must
provide to the next DMX input of the signal, this way it is possible to send the signal to all the devices
in the chain.
