5. SETUP
Switch off the DMX controller prior to connecting any units or to changing any existing connections.
Installation
Install the unit on a plane surface or in your rack. When choosing the installation spot make sure that there is
enough space around the unit for ventilation or that heated air from the rack can be passed on to improve
heat radiation. Steady overheating will damage the unit.
DMX512 Connection
Use a DMX cable and 3-pin XLR plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller to the DMX chain. If
you wish to connect fixtures with other XLR outputs, you need to use adapter cables.
1
Connect the DMX output of the DMX LED Operator 6 to the DMX input of the first light effect unit.
2
Connect the DMX output of the first fixture in the DMX chain to the DMX input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output to the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
3
At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. For this solder a 120
resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last
fixture.
Adjusting the DMX Starting Addresses of the Spotlights
Adjust the DMX starting address of the connected light effect units according to the following scheme. If
identical units are to be controlled synchronously, they can receive the same starting address; otherwise
each unit must receive an individual address. For further information, please refer to the unit's
documentation.
