HOW TO CONNECT THE UNIT BY DMX
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 light effects with a
good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. 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-cables!
Electrical installation for several units on a DMX line:
Each light effect in the chain must have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the
controller it has to decode.
Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-master/slave:
In this mode the units will show a synchronized show, working to the rhythm of the beat but you can still
control some functions on the master by 1 or 4 DMX-channels.
 To assure proper operation you need an optional "Mini DMX-SPLITTER" to isolate the master/slave line
from the main DMX-line, see drawing.
 Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The first unit
in the chain will act as the master, the other units will act automatically as slaves.
 Set the master to 1MSL or 4MSL channel mode (see previous chapter). Check the DMX-chart below to
see the difference between both channel modes.
 For the DMX-controller the master and his slaves can now be considered as 1 virtual effect that needs a
start address so it can be controlled as any other DMX-unit in the DMX chain: see "DMX Address" in the
chapter "Main Menu" to see how you can set the DMX-start address.
 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
 Set the DMX-controller according to the DMX-chart below.
 Done!
Remark: in order to work well to the rhythm of the music, make sure that the option "Sound State" on the
master is set to "On" (see previous chapter)
HOW TO SET THE RIGHT STARTING ADDRESS:
Refer to the previous chapter (DMX-512 address setting) to learn how to set the starting address on this unit.
The starting address of each unit is very important. Unfortunately it is impossible to tell you in this user
manual which starting addresses you have to use because this completely depends on the controller you will
use... So please refer to the user manual of your DMX-controller to find out which starting addresses you
must set.
