5.5 Outputs

If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with a minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation.

The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in compliance with the IEC- standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum fault current of 30 mA.

5.5 Outputs

Output is via 4 safety sockets on the rearpanel.

Connect your loads via the output-sockets. The maximum load per channel is 1,150 W (resistive). Please note that the maximum current of 16 A must never be exceeded.

5.6 DMX-512 control

The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise

the devices will not work at all, or will not work properly.

Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the device or one device with another.

Occupation of the XLR-connection:

If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly with the DMX-input of the first device in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.

Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the first device in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next device. Always connect one output with the input of the next device until all devices are connected.

Caution: At the last device, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last device.

5.7 Addressing

Each device occupies 1 or 4 channels, respectively. To ensure that the control signals are properly directed to each device, the device requires adressing. This is to be done for every single device by changing the DIP switches as set out in this table.

The starting address is defined as the first channel from which the device will respond to the controller. Please make sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each device correctly and independently from any other device on the DMX data link. If two, three or more device are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
