• All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons.
• Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to short circuits, burns,
electroshocks, crash, etc. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.

5. Installation
a) Mounting the Device
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
norms.
• The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for 1 hour
without deforming.
• 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 that is 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 injuries.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5m radius of the device.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Do not connect it to a dimming pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
b) Fuse Replacement
• Only fit or replace a fuse when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• Replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating (see “Technical Specifications”):
1. Remove the fuse holder using a flat-head screwdriver.
2. Remove the old fuse and install a new one.
3. Replace the fuse holder.
6. Use
Sound-Active/Auto Mode
A single unit will react to the surrounding sounds through the built-in microphone. Set all DIP
switches to OFF. Use the adjustment knob at the back of the unit to adjust the sensitivity.
Master/Slave Mode
Interconnect all units using XLR cables. Set all DIP switches to OFF on the master unit, set DIP
switches 1 and 10 to ON on the slave units. All slave units will follow the master unit’s pattern.
VDPL300D HQPOWER™

7. DMX Mode
The DMX mode allows you to control the unit through a universal DMX controller. Set DIP switch 10
to ON to activate the DMX mode, set the DMX address using DIP switches 1 to 9.

DMX512 Connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side
to the male 3-pin XLR input of the VDPL300D. Multiple VDPL300Ds can be linked through serial
linking. The linking cable should be a two-core screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
DMX512 Chain with Termination
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 of
the last device in the chain.
Please see illustrations.
DMX512 Start Address
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX
controller. Enter the correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the
VDPL300D.
VDPL300D HQPOWER™
5
You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one for
every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the VDPL300Ds 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 different addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
In the case of the 8-channel VDPL300D, you will have to set the start address of the first
VDPL300D to 1, the second VDPL300D to 9 (1 + 8), the third to 17 (9 + 8) and so on.
8. Cleaning and Maintenance
1. All screws should be tightened and free of corrosion.
2. The housing, visible parts, mounting supports and the installation location (e.g. ceiling,
suspension, trussing) should not be deformed, modified or tampered with e.g. do not drill extra
holes in mounting supports, do not change the location of the connections.
3. Moving mechanic parts must not show any signs of wear and tear.
4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damage. Have a qualified technician
maintain the device.
5. Disconnect the device from the mains prior to maintenance activities.
6. Wipe the device regularly with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
7. There are no user-serviceable parts.
8. Contact your dealer for spare parts if necessary.
