4. Installation
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
norms.
• The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for 1 hour without
deforming.
• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified
technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.
• Make sure there is no person present within a 1 m radius of a switched-on device.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
5. Use
This smoke machine is controlled by 1 DMX channel: CHANNEL 1 = output channel.
DMX512 Connections
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR
output of your controller and the other side to the male 3-pin
XLR input of the VDP1500SSM. Multiple VDP1500SSMs can
be linked through serial linking. The linking cable should be
two core, screened cable with XLR input and output
connectors. Please refer to the diagram at the right.
DMX512 Chain with Termination
DMX Start Address Selection
All DMX-controlled devices need a start address so that the correct device responds to the signals. This
start address is the channel number from which the device starts to "listen" to the DMX controller. Enter
the correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the VDP1500SSM.
You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one for every
device.
When all devices have the same address, all the units will "listen" to the control signal on one particular
channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices simultaneously. If
you set different addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel number. Changing the settings
of one channel will only affect the device in question.
In the case of the 1-channel VDP1500SSM, the start address of the first unit is 1, the second unit is 2,
the third is 3.

VDP1500SSM
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 120Ω resistor between
pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the last
device in the chain.
Please see illustrations to the left.
