Set Up

Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source voltage in your area matches the required voltage for your American DJ® MB DMX.™ Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be sure your unit voltages matches the wall outlet voltage before attempting to operate you fixture.

DMX-512:DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT” terminal).

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX com- pliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/

Slave Operation): The MB DMX™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The American DJ® MB DMX™ is a two channel DMX unit.

	The DMX address is set on the side panel using the dipswitches. Your
	unit and your DMX controller require a standard
	3-pin XLR connector for data input and data
	output (Figure 1). If you are making your own
	cables, be sure to use standard two conductor
	shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at
	almost all pro sound and lighting stores). Your
	cables should be made with a male and female
	XLR connector on either end of the cable.
	Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy	Figure 1
	chained and can not be split.	Figure 1
