on a crossbar . To align the spotlight, release the
two locking screws of the bracket, incline the spot-
light as desired and fasten the screws again .
WARNING Install the spotlight safely and ex-
pertly . When the spotlight is installed
at a place where people may walk
or sit under it, additionally secure it
(e . g . by means of a safety rope on
the bracket; attach the safety rope
so that the maximum falling distance
of the unit will not exceed 20 cm) .
Setting up the spotlight: Release the two lock-
ing screws of the double bracket so that it can be
adjusted . Fold out the two parts of the bracket
underneath the spotlight and use them as a stand .
Then fasten the screws again .

3.2 Connection to a DMX controller

The spotlight is equipped with two 3-pole XLR
control connections:
a DMX input (DMX IN), a DMX output (DMX OUT) .
To connect multiple DMX-controlled units to
a DMX controller, connect the units in a chain
( ☞ fig . 1) . For connection, use special cables
for DMX signal transmission (e . g . cables of the
CDMXN series) . For cable lengths exceeding 150 m
or when controlling more than 32 units, it is gener-
ally recommended to insert a DMX level matching
amplifier (e . g . SR-103DMX) .
1) Connect the DMX output of the controller to
the DMX input of the first DMX-controlled unit .
2) Connect the DMX output of the first DMX-con-
trolled unit to the DMX input of the second
DMX-controlled unit . Proceed in the same way
to connect the output of the second unit to the
input of the third unit etc . until all DMX-con-
trolled units have been connected in a chain .
3) To prevent interference in signal transmission,
in case of long cables or a multitude of units
connected in series, terminate the DMX output
of the last unit in the chain with a 120 Ω resistor
(> 0,3 W): Connect a DMX terminating plug
(e . g . DLT-123) to the output jack .
