Installation

a) Floor standing

• Loosen the knobs on the side of the mounting bracket and unfold the bracket.

• Place the device in such a way that passers-by can not touch it nor stumble over it or its power

cord(s).

b) Overhead mounting

• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable

norms.

• The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of

the device for one hour without deformation.

• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.

• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a

qualified technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.

• Install the device in a location with few passers-by and inaccessible to unauthorised persons.

• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the

installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not

attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may

result in serious injuries.

• For truss-mounting, use an appropriate clamp (not incl.) and fit an M10 bolt through the centre of

the (folded) bracket.

• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.

• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device.

c) DMX-512 connection

Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.

• When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.)

and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input [5] of the VDPLP64xx. Multiple VDPLP64xx’s

can be linked through serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with

XLR input and output connectors.

• 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

[6] of the last device in the chain.

d) general

• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device and there is

sufficient cooling.

• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electrical connection.

• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug [8]. Don’t connect it to a dimming pack.

• The output connector [7] can be used to supply power to other devices (max. 8A).

• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.

7. Operation

Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.

• The VDPLP64xx can work stand-alone with fixed colour output or controlled by an external DMX-

controller (not incl.).

• The VDPLP64xx in master mode generates DMX values on the DMX output [6]. Linked devices

will follow the behaviour of the master when they are placed in slave mode.

a) Colour mode “C” (master)

• Press the MODE selection button [1] until the first digit of display [4] shows “C”.

• Use the UP- [2] or DOWN-button [3] to select all-off or one of the twelve preset colours (see

table below).

C 0 all off C 7 Lime

C 1 Red C 8 Orange

C 2 Green C 9 Marine

C 3 Blue C10 Frog

C 4 Yellow C11 Lavender

C 5 Pink C12 Candy

C 6 Turquoise C13 White

• The selected setting is automatically stored in memory.

b) Slave mode “SLA”

• Press the MODE selection button [1] until the display [4] shows “SLA”. This sets the units DMX-

channel to 001.

• While a DMX-signal is received, a LED on the lower right will be on.

• Slave mode can also be used fro remotely controlling the unit if no specific DMX address is

required and channels 001~003 can be used as default.

c) DMX mode “d”

• Press the MODE selection button [1] until the display [4] shows “d”. After a few seconds, the

display will show the DMX starting address.

• All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the

signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to

the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an

individual address can be set for every device.

• When all devices have the same address, all the units 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 individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel

number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.

• In case of the 5-channel VDPLP64xx, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to

001 (CH1~4), the second unit to 006 (1 + 5) (CH5~8), the third to 011 (6 + 5) (CH9~12), and

so on.

• Use the UP- [2] or DOWN-button [3] to select a DMX starting address. After selecting, it takes

±3s before the address becomes active. The display shows alternately the address and “d”.

• The selected address is automatically stored in memory.

• While a DMX-signal is received, a LED on the lower right will be on.

• The unit receives DMX values in a packet of 5 channels and mirrors this data on the DMX output

[6]:

DMX channel Value Range Function

CH1 000-255 red (Out1 level)

CH2 000-255 green (Out2 level)

CH3 000-255 blue (Out3 level)

CH4 0-100 Dimmer

CH5 0-100 Shutter

d) Display ON/OFF

• When the display does not detect user inputs for ±25s, it will automatically switch off.

• To switch it on again, press any button (settings are not affected).

e) Key lock

• Pressing and holding the MODE-button [1] for more than 3s will lock all buttons ([1], [2] and

[3]). The display shows alternately the current mode and “LOC”.

• Press and hold the MODE-button [1] again for more than 3s to unlock the buttons.

f) Switch-on status

• The device always returns to the mode/status it was in when it was switched off. However, all

DMX values are cleared at power-off.

g) DMX signal loss

• The device will retain the status it was in before signal loss.
