4 Installation and starting up

Unpack and carefully check that there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the device against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.

Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.

The unit is designed for wall or tripod mounting. For this purpose, there is a mounting bracket on top of the unit. Using the two M10 threads, the device can be mounted vertically or horizontally with suitable screws on a tripod. Alternatively, there are two bores available for wall mounting using suitable mounting hooks and anchors (mounting hardware not included).

First, connect the loads to the terminals on the sides of the device. If you want to operate the device in 'DMX' mode, establish the DMX connection to the controller. Finally, connect the power plug of the device to a mains power socket.

Connections in DMX mode

Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼ W).
