The channels of each group will run according to the preset channel mode (3-channel or 6-channel
mode). If two or more VDPLW2300Ns are set in the same group mode and channel mode, the DMX
address codes of these VDPLW2300Ns can also be set as the same code. Of course they will run all
the same.
Master / Slave Running Mode
Connect two or more VDPLW2300Ns (without DMX signal) and set one or more VDPLW2300Ns
into sound-activated mode (see "Non DMX Running Modes").
NOTE: The master device will be randomly selected as one of the sound-activated fixtures. The
master device is not fixed and can switch to another sound-activated fixture at any time.
DMX512 Connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to
the male 3-pin XLR input of the VDPLW2300N. Multiple VDPLW2300Ns can be linked through serial
linking. The linking cable should be a two-core screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
DMX512 Chain with Termination
DMX Start Address Selection
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals.
This start address is the channel number from which the device starts to "listen" to the DMX controller.
Enter the correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the VDPLW2300N.
You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one for every
device.
When all devices have the same address, all the VDPLW2300Ns will "listen" to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set different addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel number.
Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.

A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has
to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos).
The terminator prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical
noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120Ω resistor
between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the
last device in the chain.
