Occupation of the XLR-connection:
If you are using the recommended FUTURELIGHT-controllers, you can connect the DMX-output of the
controller directly with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-
controllers with other DMX-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the CP-512 MST with the DMX-input of the nearest projector. Always connect
one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Projector addressing
Please note that the CP-512 MST assigns the DMX-starting addresses every 32 steps. You have to address
every projector to the respective starting address. Otherwise, the channel assignment will not be correct. All
projectors with the same starting address work synchronically.

6. OPERATION
With the Power-button, you can switch the device on and off.
Please note that you have to hold the Power button for approx. 5 seconds in order to switch the unit off.
6.1 Menu System
It is practical to start by getting know how to use the controller with its menu system and its settings. After
connecting power supply and pressing BO button, the controller is in automata mode. The controller enters
the menu in 2 seconds after keeping the MANUAL and RECORD buttons pressed down simultaneously.
In the upper line of the display the number of the current menu item appears, in the lower line the
denomination of the menu item appears. Select among the menu items with the DATA ENTRY potentiometer
or the UP-DOWN buttons. You can enter the current menu item by pressing down ENTER, and return to
automatic mode by pressing down ESC.
If the setup menu item has been selected, the controller enters the setup menu by pressing down ENTER.
There, further menu items can be selected.
