Meteor 848 IP FX Panel

  • Generating intense white strobe and multicolored pixel zone effects the Meteor 848 IP FX Panel features a central strip of 48 x 5W cool white SMD LEDs, surrounded on both sides by a total of 800 x 1.5W RGB colour mixing SMD LEDs.
  • All the LEDs are divided into independently controllable zones (40 color and 5 white). With a wide beam angle, the fixture is ideally suited to concerts, festival stages, and installations.
  • A clever twist to this fixture is the ability to switch the front glass to a frosted output.
  • Intelligent glass technology developed on this fixture allows the user to simply switch a DMX channel and alternate between clear and frost effects eliminating the need for additional frost filters.

DMX setup

Setting the DMX address:

The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each fixture requires a “start address” from 1- 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.

DMX 512:

DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal).

DMX linking:

DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufacturers to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, in the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):

This fixture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of the unit. Your unit requires either a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for data input/output, see images below.

  • Further, DMX cables can be purchased from all good sound and lighting suppliers or Prolight Concepts dealers.
  • Please quote: 3-Pin: CABL10 – 2m CABL11 – 5m CABL12 – 10m
  • 5-Pin: CABL185 – 2m CABL187 – 5m CABL188 – 10m

Notice:
Be sure to follow the diagrams below when making your cables.
Do not connect the cable shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

Pin Configuration

3-Pin| 5-Pin
Pin 1 – Ground
Pin 2 – Negative
Pin 3 – Positive
–| Pin 4 – N/C
–| Pin 5 – N/C

Line termination:

  • When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior.
  • Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibility of erratic behavior.
  • (3-pin – Order ref: CABL90,
  • 5-pin – Order ref: CABL89)

5-pin XLR DMX connectors:

  • Some manufacturers use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line.
  • When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors into a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The diagram below details the correct cable conversion.

Multiple fixture power linking

Power linking:

  • This fixture provides power linking via the power output on the rear allowing multiple units to be connected. The maximum number of fixtures that can be connected is 4 fixtures @ 240V or 2 fixtures @ 120V (including the first fixture).
  • After the maximum number of fixtures are connected a new power run will need to be started.
  • Please note: Caution should be used when power linking other fixtures to the Meteor 848 IP FX Panel as the power consumption of other fixtures will vary.
  • Fixtures fitted with lamps often require 2/3 times more current on startup, these may require their power source.
