Stand-Alone Mode - Velleman VDPLP64SLB Mode D'emploi

 Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified
technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
 Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
 Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the installation
material to be used... Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install
the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.
 Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.
 Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
 Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All devices must be powered directly off a grounded
switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel
is used solely for 0 % to 100 % switching.
 The device has a power output [9] to supply power to another device. When connecting several devices in
a daisy chain via this output, make sure that the total current does not exceed the power line's nominal
current. Use power cables with an adequate section.
 The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
DMX-512 Connection
 When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and the other
side to the male XLR input [5] of the device. Multiple devices can be linked through serial linking. The
linking cable shall be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
 Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum recommended number
of devices on a serial data link is 32 devices.
 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 Ω resistor between pins
2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket [6] of the last device in the chain.
7. Operation
The device can be used in the following modes:
 stand-alone mode: automatic or sound-activated
 master/slave
 stand-alone with remote control
 with a DMX512 controller.

Stand-Alone Mode

In stand-alone mode, the device runs one of the built-in programs. You can also select one of the built-in static
colours, or define your own custom colour.
Note: Make sure to unplug any connection from the DMX input of the device if you want to use it in stand-
alone mode. A device in stand-alone mode may transmit DMX signals that could interfere with the DMX signals
from the controller.
Stand-Alone Mode with Built-in Static Colour
To use one of the built-in static colours:
1. Unplug any connection from the DMX input [5] of the device.
2. Press MENU until <C--> is displayed and press ENTER.
3. Use UP and DOWN to select a colour (C1–C15) and press ENTER to confirm.
4. Press MENU to quit.
