button MENU repeatedly until
on the display. A different mode can now
be selected with the button UP or DOWN.

3.1.3 Master / slave mode

Multiple units TWIST-1LED can be operated
in sync. In this mode, a unit (master unit) will
control the other units (slave units).
1) Connect the units in a chain. Please refer
to chapter 3.2.1, skipping step 1.
2) Activate the output of control signals at all
units:
a) Press the button MENU. Display:
b) Press the button ENTER. Display:
c) Switch to the display
ton DOWN (press button twice).
d) Press the button ENTER. Display:
e) Switch to the display
the button UP or DOWN.
f) Save the setting with the button
ENTER. Brief display:
g) Return to the operating mode most
recently set with the button MENU
(press button twice).
3) Set the slave units to the DMX mode:
Switch to the display of the start address
(e. g. ) with the button UP or DOWN.
4) At the master unit, select the operating
mode desired.

3.2 Operation with a DMX controller

For operation via a DMX light controller (e. g.
DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB from "img Stage
Line"), the TWIST-1LED is equipped with
11 DMX control channels. However, it can
also be controlled via 9 or 5 channels only if
the functions provided by these channels suf-
fice ( chapter 3.2.3, fig. 12) or if less than 11
channels are available at the light controller.
DMX stands for Digital Multiplex and
means digital control of multiple DMX units
via a common control line.

3.2.1 Connection

For DMX signal transmission, special cables
should be used (e. g. cables of the CDMXN
series from "img Stage Line"). For cable
lengths exceeding 150 m or when controlling
more than 32 units via a single DMX output, it
appears
is generally recommended to insert a DMX
level matching amplifier (e. g. SR-103DMX).
1) Connect the input DMX IN to the DMX out-
put of the light controller or of another
DMX-controlled unit.
2) Connect the output DMX OUT of the first
unit to the DMX input of the second DMX
unit. Then connect the output of the sec-
ond unit to the input of the third DMX unit
etc. until all DMX-controlled units are con-
nected in a chain.
.
3) To prevent interference in signal transmis-
.
sion, for long cables or for a great number
with the but-
of units connected in series, terminate the
DMX output of the last DMX unit in the
.
chain with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W): Con-
nect an appropriate terminating plug (e. g.
(Master) with
DLT-123) to the DMX output jack.
3.2.2 Setting the start address and
.
For separate control of all DMX units con-
nected to the light controller, each unit
requires a start address of its own. Example:
If the first DMX channel of the TWIST-1LED is
to be controlled by DMX address 6, set the
start address on the TWIST-1LED to 6. The
other DMX channels of the TWIST-1LED will
then be automatically assigned to the subse-
quent addresses. Examples with different
start addresses:
