American DJ Verti-Pro II warranty Controls and Functions, Pin XLR to 5-Pin XLR Conversion

VERTI PRO II™ Set Up

dard 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 chained and can not be split.

Notice: Be sure to follow figures 6 and 7 when making your own cables. 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.

Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con- nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator (ADJ part number ZDMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.

	Termination reduces signal errors and
1	avoids signal transmission problems
3	and interference. It is always advisable
2	to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance
	120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-)
	and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture. Figure 8

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin.5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

1.DMX Input Jack - This jack is used to accept an incoming DMX or Master/Slave signal.

2.DMX Output Jack - This jack is used to send the incoming DMX or Master/Slave signal to another DMX fixture.

3.Internal Mic - This mic triggers the unit in sound active mode.

4.Dip Switches - These switches are used to set the DMX and Master/Slave address.

5.Mic Sensitivity - This adjust audio sensitivity of the internal mic (3). Turning the sensitivity knob in the clockwise direction will increase sound sensitivity. Turning the knob in a counter clockwise direction will decrease sound sensitivity.

6.Remote Control Input - Do not attempt to connect an audio signal to this jack, this will damage the unit! This jack is for use with the optional VertiPro/C controller only.

7.Fuse Holder - This housing stores the protective fuse. Always replace with the exact same type fuse, unless otherwise instructed

to do so by an authorized American DJ® service technician.
