ENGLISH
 The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION + ADDRESSING
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
Electrical installation for 1 standalone unit:
 Insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in the last selected mode.
 Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to switch between the different working modes.
Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:
 Connect several units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The unit that has no
cable connected to its DMX-input is the "master", the others are the slave units.
 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
 Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP for more information.
 Done!
Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-mode:
 The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to
"daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected units with a balanced cable of good quality.
 Pin layout XLR-3pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+)
 To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use
a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this
simply won't work!
 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
 Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows
which commands from the controller it has to decode. In the next section you will learn how to set the
DMX addresses.
