5. Controlled byuniversal DMX-controller:
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 light effects with a good quality XLR M/F
balanced cable 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!
Each unit in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the
controller it has to decode.
HOW TO SET THE THE RIGHT STARTING ADDRESS:
Refer to the previous chapter (Main menu: DMX-512 address setting) to learn how to set the starting
address on this unit. The starting address of each unit is very important. Unfortunately it is impossible to
tell you in this user manual which starting addresses you have to set because this completely depends
on the controller you will use and also on which channel mode you will select… So please refer to the
user manual ofyour DMX-controllerto find out which starting addresses you must set.
