Please read the manual thoroughly before bringing this device into service.

Safety Instructions

• Be very careful during the installation: touching live wires can cause life-threatening electroshocks.
• Keep this device away from rain and moisture.
• Unplug the mains lead before opening the housing.
• Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty and the dealer will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.
• A qualified technician should install and service this device.
• Do not switch the device on immediately after it has been exposed to changes in temperature. Protect the device against damage by leaving it switched off until it has reached room temperature.
• This device falls under protection class II. It is therefore essential that the device be earthed. Have a qualified person carry out the electric connection.
• Make sure that the available voltage does not exceed the voltage stated in the specifications of this manual.
• Do not crimp the power cord and protect it against damage. Have an authorised dealer replace it if necessary.
• Disconnect the device from the mains to clean it or when it is not in use. Handle the power cord by the plug only.
• Shields, lenses or UV screens shall be replaced if they become visibly damaged (e.g. cracks, scratches) to such extent that their effectiveness is impaired.
• Do not look directly at the light source as sensitive people may go into epileptic seizure if they do.
• Note that damage caused by user modifications to the device is not covered by the warranty.
• Keep the device away from children and unauthorized users.

General Guidelines

• This device is designed for professional use on stage, in discos, theatres, etc. The VDPLPS36BP should only be used indoors with an alternating current of max. 230VAC/50Hz.
• Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation: regular operation breaks will prolong their lives.
• Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
• Select a location where the device is protected against extreme heat (see “Technical Specifications”), dust and moisture. Respect a minimum distance of 0.5m between the device’s light output and any illuminated surface.
• Use an appropriate safety cable to fix the device (e.g. VDLSC8).
• Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using it. Do not allow operation by unqualified people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to the unprofessional use of the device.
• Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
• All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons.

Installation

Connecting the device

1. Power supply: 230VAC / 50Hz
2. Fuse: 5 x 20mm F1A (order code: FF1N)
3. Signal input: XLR connector connected with a DMX512 control panel.
4. Signal output: XLR connector connected with next spot.
5. DMX-address switches: Stand-alone function or DMX setting

DMX-512 Connections
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 3- pin XLR input of the VDPLPS36BP. Multiple VDPLPS36BPs can be linked through serial linking. The linking cable should be two-core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram at the right.

Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Only use a stereo-shielded cable and 3-pin XLR plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

Occupation of the XLR connector:

DMX-512 Chain with termination
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120Ω resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the last device in the chain. Please see the illustrations to the left.

Projector DMX start address selection
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX controller. Enter the correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the VDPLPS36BP. You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one for every device. When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices simultaneously. If you set different addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question. In the case of the 4-channel VDPLPS36BP, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 5 (1 + 4), the third to 9 (5 + 4), and so on.
