Connecting to the mains supply – Fig. 7
3.3 Connecting the control signal line: DMX / Art-Net
Connecting to the control signal line (DMX) – Fig. 8
Use a cable conforming to specifications EIA RS-485: 2-pole twisted, shielded,
120Ohm characteristic impedance, 22-24 AWG, low capacity. Do not use
microphone cable or other cable 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.
3.4 Switching on the fixture and basic SetUp
Switching on the projector – Fig. 9
Press the switch. The projector starts resetting the effects. At the same
time, the following information scrolls on the display:
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.
Reversal of the display – Fig. 10
To activate this function, press UP and DOWN keys simultaneously while the
display is in the rest mode. This status will be memorised and maintained even
for the next time it will be switched on. To return to the initial state,
repeat the operation all over again.
Setting the projector starting address
On each projector, the starting address must be set for the control signal
(addresses from 1 to 512).
The address can also be set with the projector switched off.
