Safety

DANGER!

Danger for children

Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking

hazard! Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces

and choke! Never let children unattended use electrical devices.

DANGER!

Electric shock caused by high voltages inside

Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable

parts inside. Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or damaged.

DANGER!

Electric shock caused by short-circuit

Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord). Do not modify the mains cable. Failure to do so could result

in electric shock/death or re. If in doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.

NOTICE!

Risk of re

Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked ames.

NOTICE!

Operating conditions

This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid

direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations.

NOTICE!

Power supply

Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC

outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure

the user. Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of

electric shock or re.

NOTICE!

Possible damage due to installation of a wrong fuse

The use of dierent types of fuses can cause serious damage to the unit. Fire hazard! Only fuses of the same type may be used.

4 Installation

Unpack and carefully check that there is no transportation damage before using the

unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the device against vibration,

dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or

your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.

Create all connections while the device is o. Use the shortest possible high-quality

cables for all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping

hazards.

Installation

LED Stripe All-in-One Control 9

DMX Controller

5 Starting up

Establish all connections as long as the unit is switched o. Use the shortest possible

high-quality cables for all connections.

Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or

another DMX device. Connect the output of the rst DMX device to the input of the

second one, and so on to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the

last DMX device in the daisy chain is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼ W).

If a DMX connection is established, the ‘DMX’ LED lights up.

When you congure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the rst unit will con‐

trol the other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This func‐

tion is ideal when you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of

the master device to the DMX input of the rst slave device. Then connect the DMX

output of the rst slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device and so

on.

9 Plug and connection assignments

This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable

equipment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed.

Please take our tips, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if

a plug ts into a socket, the result of an incorrect connection may be a destroyed

DMX controller, a short circuit or ‘just’ a not working light show!

The unit oers a 3-pin XLR socket for DMX output and a 3-pin XLR plug for DMX

input. Please refer to the drawing and table below for the pin assignment of a suit‐

able XLR plug.

10 Troubleshooting

NOTICE!

Possible data transmission errors

For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not

use ordinary microphone cables.

Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers

or ampliers.

In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation.

We give you some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:

Symptom Remedy

The unit does not work, no

light, the fan does not run

Check the mains power connection and the main

fuse.

No response to the DMX con‐

troller

1. The DMX indicator should light up. If it doesn't,

check DMX connectors and cables for proper con‐

nection.

2. If the DMX indicator lights up but with no

response, check the address settings and DMX

polarity.

3. Try using another DMX controller.

4. Check whether the DMX cables lie near or adja‐

cent to high voltage cables, which could cause

damage or interference with a DMX interface cir‐

cuit.

If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service

Center. You can nd the contact information at www.thomann.de.
