ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
STANDALONE WITH BUILT-IN CHASES:
Use this function when you want an instant show on only 1 projector.
 Connect the projector to the mains and turn it on.
 In the setup menu:
 Load the [AUTO Use] defaults.
 If needed: adapt the [Install POS.] settings
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION FOR TWO OR MORE UNITS IN DMX-MODE:
Use this function when you want to control the projectors by any DMX controller.
 Connect the projectors as shown in the drawing below.
 First put the projectors in the desired DMX-mode: see the different DMX-charts and choose the one that
suits you best.
 Give all projectors a start address: each projector shows its start + end address, make sure that the
addresses do not overlap!
Some general information on 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 units with a balanced cable of good quality.
 Both XLR-3pin and XLR-5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more popular because these
cables are compatible with balanced audio cables.
 Pin layout XLR-3pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive
signal (+)
 Pin layout XLR-5pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive
signal (+) ~ Pins4+5 not used.
 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.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION VIA ETHERNET IN/OUT:
Art-Net is nothing more than a protocol for transmitting DMX512 over an Ethernet network, developed by
Artistic Licence Engineering (UK) Ltd. Thanks to the much bigger bandwidth it is possible to send more than
256 DMX-universes in one time.
This projector can be connected in such Ethernet network using routers, switches etc. The network topology
is exactly the same as for a normal PC-network. However, IP-addresses cannot be obtained via DHCP: see
the explanations in the chapter "setup menu" on how to manually setup the IP-address, Net Mask and
choose the desired DMX-universe.
IMPORTANT NOTE: this projector has both Ethernet input and output so you can daisy chain several units.
However the number of units in one chain should be limited to ±10 units to avoid unwanted signal delays. In
bigger installations you should use the "STAR-topology" using Ethernet switches (or a combination of both):
