CAUTION:Donotallowcontactbetweenthecommonandthexture’schassis
ground.Groundingthecommoncancauseagroundloop,andyourxturemay
perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and
to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
Take It To The Next Level: Setting Up DMX Control
Step 1: Connect the male connector of the DMX cable to the female connector
(output) on the controller.
Step 2: Connect the female connector of
theDMXcabletotherstxture’smale
connector (input). Note: It doesn’t
matterwhichxtureaddressisthe
rstoneconnected.Werecommend
connectingthexturesintermsoftheir
proximity to the controller, rather than
connectingthelowestxturenumber
rst,andsoon.
Step 3:Connectotherxturesinthe
chain from output to input as above.
Place a DMX terminator on the output
ofthenalxturetoensurebest
communication.
Fixture Linking (Master/Slave Mode)
1. Connect the (male) 3-pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output
(female)3-pinconnectoroftherstxture.
2.Connecttheendofthecablecomingfromtherstxturewhichwillhavea
(female)3-pinconnectortotheinputconnectorofthenextxtureconsistingof
a (male) 3-pin connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated
abovetotheinputofthefollowingxtureandsoon.
Mounting & Rigging
• ThisxturemaybemountedinanySAFEpositionprovidedthereisenough
room for ventilation.
• Mountthextureusingasuitable“C”or“O”typeclamp.Theclampshould
beratedtoholdatleast10xthexture’sweighttoensurestructuralstability.
Do not mount to surfaces with unknown strength, and ensure properly “rated”
riggingisusedwhenmountingxturesoverhead.
• Adjusttheangleofthexturebylooseningbothknobsandtiltingthexture.
Afterndingthedesiredposition,retightenbothknobs.
• Safety cables MUST ALWAYS be used.
•Nevermountinplaceswherethexturewillbeexposedtorain,highhumid-
ity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.
