Stand-alone Setup
When the Cameleon Flood 15 Q4 Tour is not connected to a controller or to other devices, it functions as a stand-alone device.
For more information about the control modes, refer to 6.2. Control Modes on page 17.

DMX Connection
DMX-512 Protocol
You need a DMX serial data link to run light shows of one or more devices using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows of two or more devices set in a  master/slave control mode.
The Cameleon Flood 15 Q4 Tour has 3-pin DMX signal IN and OUT connectors.
The pin assignment is as follows: pin 1 (ground), pin 2 (-), pin 3 (+).
Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. The number of devices that you can control on one data link is limited by the combined number of the DMX  channels of the connected devices and the 512 channels available in one DMX universe.
To comply with the TIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link.
In order to connect more than 32 devices on one data link, you must use a DMX optically isolated splitter/booster, otherwise, this may result in deterioration of the DMX signal.
Note:

• Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 300 m
• Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 32 devices

DMX Cables
Shielded twisted-pair cables with 3-pin XLR connectors must be used for a reliable DMX connection. You can purchase DMX cables directly from your Highlite International dealer or make your own cables.
If you use XLR audio cables for DMX data transmission, this may lead to signal degradation and unreliable operation of the DMX network.
When you make your own DMX cables, make sure that you connect the pins and wires correctly as shown in Fig. 07.

Master/Slave Setup
The Cameleon Flood 15 Q4 supports master/slave control mode. To connect multiple devices in a master/slave setup, follow the steps below:

1. Connect the first device’s DMX OUT connector to the second device’s DMX IN connector.
2. Repeat step 1 to connect all devices as shown in Fig. 08.
3. Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device in the setup.
4. Set the first device on the data link as a master device. See 6.6.5. Master/Slave Mode on page 24 for more information.
5. Set the remaining devices to slave mode. See 6.6.5. Master/Slave Mode on page 24 for more information.

DMX Linking
To connect multiple devices on one DMX data link, follow the steps below:

1. Use a 3-pin DMX cable to connect the DMX OUT connector of the lighting controller to the DMX IN connector of the first device.
2. Connect the first device’s DMX OUT connector to the second device’s DMX IN connector with a 3-pin DMX cable.
3. Repeat step 2 to connect all devices in a daisy chain as shown in Fig. 09.
4. Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device on the data link.

DMX Addressing
In a setup with multiple devices, make sure that you set the DMX starting address of each device correctly. The Cameleon Flood 15 Q4 Tour has 3 personalities: 4, 6, or 10 channels.
If you want to connect multiple devices on one data link and use them in 10-channel mode, for example, follow the steps below:

1. Set the starting address of the 1st device on the data link to 1 (001).
2. Set the starting address of the 2nd device on the data link to 11 (011), as 1 + 10 = 11.
3. Set the starting address of the 3rd device on the data link to 21 (021), as 11 + 10 = 21.
4. Continue assigning the starting addresses of the remaining devices by adding each time 10 to the previous number each.
   Make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control the Cameleon Flood 15 Q4 Tour correctly. If two or more devices are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
