Power Linking

Power linking is daisy chaining products together through their Power In and Power Out sockets

allowing many products to be powered from one outlet.

Up to 16 MotionOrb products can be power linked at 120 V and up to 30 MotionOrb

products

can be power linked at 230 V.

The diagram below illustrates power-linking.

Power Linking

Diagram

• Do not power link more than 16 MotionOrb products at 120 V.

• Do not power link more than 30 MotionOrb products at 230 V.

• The power linking diagram above shows the North American version only!

Assembly

Before assembling the MotionOrb, read and follow the safety recommendations in the Safety

Notes.

Assemble the MotionOrb from the top down with the power off.

Rig the top bar where the MotionOrb will hang—for more information see Rigging

. Then attach

the standard orb strings to the top bar and the bottom orb strings to the standard orb strings—

for more information see the Assembly Diagram.

The top bar of the MotionOrb has male connectors. The standard

orb strings have male

connectors on one end and female on the other end. The bottom

orb strings have female

connectors on one end and loops on the other end. The bottom orb strings are a

lways at the

bottom of the MotionOrb.

The orb string connectors are 4-

pin connectors with locking collars. There is a threaded collar

on the female connector that slides over, and twists onto, the threaded exterior of the male

connector. There are arrows on each connector so that the connectors can be aligned properly

before being screwed together.

To assemble the MotionOrb, do the following:

1. Rig the top bar. For more information see Rigging.

2. Attach each of the standard orb strings directly to the top bar using the female connector

ends of the orb strings.

3. Attach each of the bottom orb strings to the standard orb strings using the male connector of

the standard orb strings and female connector of the bottom orb strings.

4. Make sure all the connections are finger tight.

5. Turn on the power.

• Make sure the power is off before assembling the MotionOrb.

• Standard orb strings will not work on their own! The bottom orb strings must be

connected in order for the product to function!

• The bottom orb strings—the ones with the loops—are always at the bottom of the

MotionOrb.

• Each strand must be at least 2 meters (at least one standard orb string, ending in a

bottom orb string).

clamps, go to

https://www.chauvetdj.com/products/category/accessories/.

Make sure that the structure onto which the product is mounted can support the product’s

weight. For weight information, see Technical Specifications.

Orientation

Hang the MotionOrb by attaching the top bar a to pipe or truss with mounting clamps so the

orbs strings hang straight down or are be draped up with the bottom loops tied off to another

structure.

Place the MotionOrb

so that the top bar is accessible for programming and control panel

operation.

DMX Linking

DMX linking is daisy chaining more than one MotionOrb, through the DMX In and Out ports.

The MotionOrb has two modes that require DMX linking:

• Master/Slave mode, in which the master MotionOrb sends DMX signals to the MotionOrb

slaves

• DMX mode, in which the DMX controller sends DMX signals to the MotionOrb

To DMX link MotionOrb products do the following:

1. Connect the male end of the DMX cable to the DMX Out port of the master MotionOrb, or

the DMX controller.

2. Connect the female end of the DMX cable to the DMX In port of the next MotionOrb.

3. Connect the male end of another DMX cable to the DMX Out port of the MotionOrb in step

2.

4. Connect the female end of the DMX cable into the next MotionOrb.

5. Continue connecting each other MotionOrb until they are all part of the chain.

• When DMX linking MotionOrb products for Master/Slave mode, the master is the first

MotionOrb in the chain and there is no DMX controller. See Master/Slave

Configuration for details.

• When DMX linking MotionOrb products for DMX mode, the DMX controller is the first

thing in the line.

• Never connect more than 32 MotionOrb products together on a single DMX chain.

Standalone

Configuration

Standalone configurations allow the MotionOrb to operate without a DMX controller. There are a

variety of Standalone modes and they are powerful tools for making exciting looks.

Never connect a product in a S

tandalone mode (Auto or Sound) to a DMX chain that

includes a DMX controller. Products in Stand

alone mode transmit DMX signals that

interfere with the DMX signals from the controller.

Automatic Mode

Automatic mode sets the MotionOrb to run through the currently selected program at a speed

set in the Speed function.

To set the MotionOrb to Automatic mode, do the following:

1. Make sure the MotionOrb is connected to a power source and not connected to a DMX

controller.

2. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Automatic shows on the display.

3. Press <ENTER>. The MotionOrb starts operating in Automatic mode.

Automatic

Programs

Program selects 1 of 30 preset color patterns and changes for the MotionOrb to go through in

Automatic mode.

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Program shows on the display.

2. Press <ENTER>. The currently selected program shows on the display.

3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> until the desired program shows on the display.

4. Press <ENTER> the MotionOrb™ starts operating in the newly selected program mode.

Automatic

Program Speed

The Speed setting adjusts how fast the MotionOrb goes through an automatic program.

To adjust the speed setting, do the following:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Speed shows on the display.

2. Press <ENTER> and 1–3 also shows on the display.

3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> until the desired speed shows on the display.

Sound Mode

Sound mode sets the MotionOrb to respond to sounds and music.

To set the MotionOrb™ to Sound mode, do the following:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Sound shows on the display.

2. Press <ENTER>. The MotionOrb begins responding to sounds and music.

• The MotionOrb responds only to low frequencies of music such as bass or drums.

• If the MotionOrb does not respond to sounds or music increase the sound sensitivity.

Sound Sensitivity

The Sound Sen setting adjusts the sensitivity of the MotionOrb microphone.

To adjust the sensitivity setting, do the following:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Sound Sen and a number show on the display.

2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> until the desired sensitivity shows on the display.

Custom Color

Color sets all the orbs to a single color.

To set the MotionOrb to a single color, do the following:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Color shows on the display.

2. Press <ENTER>. A color (Red, Green, Blue) shows in the display with 3 numbers under it

and the MotionOrb glows in the currently selected color.

3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to adjust the color value 000–255 (0–100%).

Note: Selecting 000 turns off that color.

4. Press <ENTER> to set the color and scroll through the other colors.

4. Operation

Page 20 of 94 MotionOrb User Manual Rev. 6

Master/Slave

Configuration

Master/Slave mode allows a single MotionOrb (the master) to control the actions of one or more

MotionOrb products (the slaves) without a DMX controller. Master/Slave configuration

involves

doing the following:

• Configuring the slaves with the MS mode and MS address.

• Configuring the master.

• Setting the master to Sound or Automatic mode.

The master and slaves are daisy chained though the DMX In and Out ports with the master

at

the beginning of the chain. For more information see DMX Linking above.

The MotionOrb products have three different Master/Slave modes in which they operate

singly,

or in groups of 2, or in groups of 3.

• When configured singly there is one master and any number of slaves duplicating the

master.

• When configured in groups of 2 there is 1 master plus 1 slave for a group of 2. Then there

are any number of groups of slaves, with the 1st in the group duplicating the master and the

2nd in the group duplicating the slave.

• When configured in groups of 3 there is 1 master plus 2 slaves for a group of 3. Then there

are any number of groups of slaves, with the 1st in the group duplicating the master, the 2nd

in the group duplicating the 1st slave, and the 3rd in the group duplicating the 2nd slave.

See the diagrams below for the Master/Slave modes and how they group the MotionOrb

products.
