2) When further RGBL-222DMX panels are used,
connect the first panel via the inline jack of the
cable DMX OUT (5) to the plug (10) of the cable
DMX IN of the second panel. Proceed in the
same way to connect the second panel to the
third unit etc. until all panels have been con-
nected in a chain.
If the DMX connection cables between the
panels are too short, use suitable extension
cables (e. g. ODP-34DMX from "img Stage Line"
of 2 m length).
3) To prevent interference in signal transmission, in
case of long cables or a multitude of units con-
nected in series, terminate the DMX output of
the last DMX unit in the chain with a 120 Ω resis-
tor (> 0.3 W). The easiest way to terminate the
DMX output of an RGBL-222DMX panel is to
separate an extension cable ODP-34DMX and
to connect the resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of the
plug. Connect the plug with the resistor to the
inline jack of the cable DMX OUT.
5.3.2 Setting the DMX start address
For controlling the light effect panel with a light con-
troller, it is necessary to set the DMX start address
for the first DMX channel. If e.g. address 5 on the
DMX controller is provided for the dimmer function,
set the start address 5 on the light effect panel. The
other DMX channels of the light effect panel are
automatically assigned to the following addresses
(in this example 6 to 10). In this example, the next
possible start address for the following DMX-con-
trolled unit would be 11.
1) When the display (2) is not activated, press one
of the control buttons (3).
2) Press both control buttons A and B at the same
time so that the display starts flashing.
3) Press the button A (up) or B (down) repeatedly
until the display shows a number between 001
and 512 (see fig. 3, first line).
4) Press both control buttons A and B at the same
time again so that the display stops flashing.
5) To set the DMX start address, press the button A
or B.
Note: To indicate that the start address has been set and
DMX signals are received from the light controller, a dot
starts flashing on the display.
