Plug and connection assignments

Introduction

• 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 fits 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!

DMX connections

The unit offers 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 suitable XLR plug

Troubleshooting

NOTICE!

• Data transfer errors due to improper wiring!
• If the DMX connections are wired incorrectly, this can cause errors during the data transfer.
• Do not connect the DMX input and output to audio devices, e.g. mixers or amplifiers.
• Use special DMX cables for the wiring instead of normal microphone cables.
• 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 display is dark| Check the mains connection and the fuse.
  Apparently no function despite proper power supply| Check whether the device is in DMX mode. If so, check the unit in another mode.
  No response to the DMX con‐ troller| 1. Check the DMX connectors and cables for proper con‐ nection.
  2. If the device is in DMX mode and a DMX controller is connected and switched on, a dot flashes on the second digit of the display. If it doesn’t, no valid DMX signal is received. Check that the DMX controller is switched on. Check the DMX connections and cables for proper con‐ nection.
  3. If the dot flashes on the display but there is still no response, check the address settings and the DMX polarity.
  4. Try using another DMX controller.
  5. Check whether the DMX cables run near or parallel to high-voltage cables that may cause damage or interfer‐ ence to a DMX interface circuit.
