ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION + ADDRESSING

Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,

according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.

Electrical installationfor 1 standalone unit:

 Just insert themains cable. The unit startsworking immediately in stand-alone mode

Remark: You can connect a CA-8remote controller to the unit if you want tohave more control.

Electrical installation for twoor more unitsin master/slave:

 Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced microphone cables (like for

example JB Systems ref. 7-0063). The unit that has no cable connected to its DMX-input will react as

“master”, the others are the slave units.

 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.

 Done!

Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the master unit if you want to have more control

over the master/slave operation. You can also connect the LEDCON 01 remote controller, in this case all

units will respondequally(all units havethe samecolor)

ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL

JB SYSTEMS

4/36 LED BALL INDOOR

Electrical installationfor two or more units in DMX-mode:

 The DMX-protocol is a widely

used high speed signal to

control intelligent light

equipment. You need to

“daisy chain” your DMX

controller and all the

connected units with a good

quality balanced cable (ex. JB

Systems ref. 7-0063).

 To prevent strange behavior

of the light effects, due to

interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain.

Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won’t work!

 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.

 Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows

which commands from the controller it has to decode. In the next section you will

learn how to set the DMX addresses.

How to set theDMXaddresses:

There are 2 ways to set the DMX-address ofthe units

A. Setting individual DMX-addresses perprojector:

 Make sure the DMXcables of all units are connected.

 Connect the first unit to a universal DMX controller.

 Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.

 Set all DMX-channels on your DMX-controller to zero (value 000).

 Set the DMX-channel, that you want to assign as DMX-start address on you projector, tot

maximum (value255)

 Press the“Auto DMX address” button (6) on the projector shortly.

 If you want to set another projector to the same DMX-start address, simply press it’s “Auto DMX

address” button (6) and it will receive the same address.

 Done!

An example to make thingsclear:

We will set the DMX start address of a projector to 106:

 Connect the projector to the DMX-controller as described above and make sure all is switched

on.

 Set all DMX-channels on the controllerto zero (000)

 Now setDMX-channel 106 to maximum (255)

 Press the“AutoDMXaddress” button (6) on the projector shortly.

 Done!  Your projectornowhas DMX address 106!

B. Automatic DMX-addressing,startingfromany givenstart address:

To save a lot of time (imagine the time it takes to set the DIP switches of 16 units…) you can set the

DMX addresses of all units in the DMX-chain just by the push of a button. No need to calculate the

starting address of each individual unit, this will be done for you!

 Make sure the DMXcables of all units are connected.

 Connect the first unit to a universal DMX controller.

 Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.

 Set all DMX-channels on your DMX-controller to zero (value 000).

 Set the DMX-channel, that you want to assign as DMX-start address on you projector, tot

maximum (value255)

 Press the“Auto DMX address” button (6) on the first projector in the chain for about 5seconds.

 Done!  The first projector in the chain will receive the DMX-start address you chose and it will

automatically calculate and program the DMX addresses of all theother units in the DMX-chain!

ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL

JB SYSTEMS

5/36 LED BALL INDOOR

An example to make things clear:

We want to set the DMX-addresses of 16 units, the DMX start address of the first projector must

be 202:

 Connect all projectors to the DMX-controller as described above and make sure all are switched

on.

 Set all DMX-channels on the controllerto zero (000)

 Now set DMX-channel 202 tomaximum (255)

 Press the“AutoDMX address” button (6) on the first projector in the chain for about 5seconds.

 Done!  The first projector in the chain will receive DMX-start address 202 and it will

automatically calculate and program the DMX addresses of all the other units in the DMX-chain!

This means that the 2

projector automatically receives address 206, the 3

has address 210,

…, until the16

projector who automatically receives start address 262.

You just programmed 16 projectors,this took you about 10seconds!!!

Remark: you can mix the units with other DMX-effects that don’t have the automatic DMX-

addressing option. In that case you still have to set the DMX-addresses of these DMX-effects

manually!

OVERHEAD RIGGING

 Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper

installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires

extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials

shouldbe used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.

 Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging

andservicing.

 The device should be installed out of reach of peopleand outside areas where persons may walk by or be

seated.

 Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s

weight.

 Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit.

This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop

more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.

 The device should be well fixed.

 The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by

an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled

person to be sure that safety is still optimal.

 3 different fixing methods are possible:

 Fixed to ceiling or truss (1m chain included)

 Wall fixing (optional wall adapter available)

 Pole mount (optional adapter for poles up to D=60mmavailable)
