Connecting to the control signal line (DMX) – Fig. 8
Use a cable compliant to the EIA RS-485 specifications: 2-pole twisted, shielded, 120Ohm characteristic impedance, 22-24 AWG, low capacity. Do not use microphone cables or other cables with characteristics differing from those specified. The end connections must be made using XLR type 5-pin male/female connectors. A terminating plug must be inserted into the last projector with a resistance of 120Ohm (minimum 1/4 W) between terminals 2 and 3.
IMPORTANT: The wires must not make contact with each other or with the metal casing of the connectors. The casing itself must be connected to the shield braid and to pin 1 of the connectors.

Plug the power connector. The projector starts resetting the effects. At the same time, the following information scrolls on the display:

CLAYPAKY CL3027 Arolla Aqua - Address

On conclusion of resetting in case of absence of the dmx signal, Pan and Tilt move to the “Home” position (Pan 128 bit – Tilt 128 bit). The control panel (Fig. 8) has a display and buttons for the complete programming and management of the projector menu. The display can be in one of two conditions: rest status and setting status. When it is in the rest status, the display shows the projector’s DMX address.
During menu setting status, after a wait time (about 30 seconds) without any key having been pressed, the display automatically returns to rest status.
It should be noted than when this condition occurs, any possible value that has been modified but not yet confirmed with the key will be cancelled.
