DMX-512 Control Connection

Using a 3 pin XLR cable, you can connect the product to a DMX controller and then to other fixtures with 3 pin XLR inputs and outputs. When not using DMX, multiple fixtures can be connected together and operate under master/slave control. The signal cable should have two cores with shielded cable, the signal connectors are XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the below diagram:

Light Emotion DERBY4 Entertainment Lighting Effect -Control
Connection

DMX Address Setting

When being used in conjunction with a DMX controller, each fixture must be set with a specific starting address. When receiving the signal, the fixture will receive channel control signals of this address from the DMX controller.
For simplicity, the user can use the same address for multiple fixtures but this will result in each fixture providing exactly the same output, and fixtures with the same DMX address cannot be individually controlled.
To control each fixture individually via DMX, each fixture must have its own unique DMX address. If this fixture is in 10 channel DMX mode then each address must be 10 channels apart. For example, if the first unit is on DMX channel 1, the 2 and must be on DMX channel 11, the 3 rd on channel 21, and so on.

Similarly, for 2 channel DMX mode, the DMX channels would be 1,3,5,7, and so on.
Some DMX controllers may group fixtures in lots of 16 channels – so in that case, fixture 1 on channel 1, fixture 2 on channel 17, 3 on 33, and so on. Refer to your DMX controllers’ instruction manual on how best to manage your DMX channel allocation.

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator

A DMX terminator helps to reduce ‘noise’ on the DMX chain and makes the light respond to control more accurately. It should be plugged into the last fixture in any chain. For Terminator connections  please see below:Light Emotion

leaning and Maintenance

From time to time it is recommended the product is cleaned to ensure maximum light output and performance. Use a wet cloth to clean the housing as well as the lenses. Please note that alcohol-based cleaners and solvents cannot be used as they will cause damage to the product.
When used in a fixed long-term installation such as a venue or club, the unit should be periodically taken down from the installation and professionally cleaned. Dust build-up within the unit can cause damage and ultimately failure of components.
