Set Up:
Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in be sure the source volt- age in your area matches the required voltage for your American DJ® Light Station.™ The Light Station™ is available in a 115v and 230v ver- sion. Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be sure to plug your power supply into a matching wall outlet before attempt- ing to operate you controller.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements:
Your fixture and your controller require a standard
Also, remember that DMX cable must beFigure 1 daisy chained and can not be “Y”ed or
split.
Notice: Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con- nect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
