Control Panel - HQ Power ARAS 170S VDPL170MH17 Mode D'emploi

 The device has a power output [8] 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 [11,12] 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 [9,10] of the last device in the chain.
