FRONT PANEL

1. DMX LED: Blinks when a DMX signal is detected.
2. LCD DISPLAY: monitors the current output states of the channels and helps the user with the setup of the different menus.

In normal working condition the display shows the output states of the channels (see picture): The screen shows 6 channels. Above each channel there's a bar indicating the dimming level of that channel. The first digit shows the name of the channel that has been last modified. (in the picture the dimming value of channel 6 was the last modified)

1. MENU Button: Used to access the different setup menus. See "Setup menus" for more information.
2. UP Button: Used to scroll the menus or to increase the values.
3. DOWN Button: Used to scroll the menus or to decrease the values
4. ESC Button: Used to go one step back in the menu level or to leave the menu system.
5. CHANNEL BUTTONS: The DSP6 can work without a controller for the input signals. This is a good option if you just need a certain output level on each channel over a long time (shops, exhibition booths, pubs etc...) Just press and hold the channel button of the channel you want to edit. While you keep the channel button pressed you can use the "up/down" buttons to change the output level of that channel.

6. CHANNEL INDICATORS: In addition to the LCD display these leds show the output condition of the channels.

7. CIRCUIT BREAKERS: In case of a short circuit these circuit breakers switch off to protect the output stages of the DSP6. After inspection of the installation you can switch them back on. In normal working condition these circuit breakers are always switched on.

REAR PANEL

10.DMX INPUT: male XLR-connector used to connect the DSP6 to a DMX controller or any other DMX unit in the chain.

DMX OUTPUT: female XLR-connector used to connect the DSP6 to the next unit in the DMX chain.

11.ANALOGUE INPUTS: 8pin DIN connector used for the analogue 0 10Vdc inputs. Refer to the picture on the right for the pinning of the connector.

Attention: The analogue input only works when the "DMX fail" option is set to "Analog" and no DMX-signal is connected to the DSP6 (DMX led is off)

12.CHANNEL OUTPUTS: Each of the 6 channels have 2 output ch3 ch4 wires. While connecting please pay attention to the "L" and "N" indications on the back panel.

13.EARTH WIRE CONNECTIONS: Make sure to earth the DSP6 properly!
14. NEUTRAL INPUT WIRES: Neutral input wires. These 3 connectors are linked together on the inside of the DSP6.
15.PHASE INPUTS: The DSP6 can be connected in single phase or 3phase. Refer to the next chapter for proper connection.

CONNECTIONS

This unit may only be installed by qualified personal, following the rules for electrical installations in your country! After installation always put the metal covers back in place and make sure to use proper cable entry glands (see picture) to protect the wires from unwanted traction and friction.

• SINGLE PHASE INSTALLATION (2 wires “L”+“N”+ earth wire “E”:

• Since you have only 1 phase wire (L) you must make bridges between the L1/L2/L3 inputs and connect the phase wire to these inputs.

• Connect the neutral (N) to the N-input.
• Connect the loads to the output channels (2 connections, named "L" and "N") All connections named "N" are linked inside the DSP6.
• Don't forget to connect the earth connection properly!

• THREE PHASE INSTALLATION (4wires “L1+L2+L3+N” + earth wire “E”:

• Since you have 3 phase wires you can connect these directly to the corresponding L1/L2/L3 inputs.

• Connect the neutral (N) to the N-input.
• Connect the loads to the output channels (2 connections, named "L" and "N") All connections named "N" are linked inside the DSP6.
• Don't forget to connect the earth connection properly!

SETUP MENUS

Please refer to the overview below to fully understand the menu structure of the DSP6:

You can clearly see which buttons to push to select a certain function. In most cases the DSP6 is in normal working condition (display shows channel output condition). Push the "menu" button to enter the setup menus. With the "up/down" buttons you can scroll through the 5 available menus. With the "esc" button you can go one step back in the menu. After +/-30 sec the DSP6 returns automatically to the normal working mode.

In the next chapter you can read more about each function.

MENU ITEMS

- DMX FAIL:

The DSP6 works with analog 0/10V or digital DMX-512 input signals. DMX-signals have priority to the analog inputs. This means that you can only use the analog inputs when no DMX-signal is detected. When the DMX-signal is not present you have 3 options:

Hold:

In case of DMX-fail the DSP6 keeps the last scene on the outputs.

• Press "menu" and "up/down" until the display shows "Dmx fail".
• Press "menu" again: the display shows one of the 3 options.
• Press "up/down" until the display shows "Hold"
• Press "esc" to store this option and leave the menu.

- Analog:

In case of DMX-fail the DSP6 goes in analog 0/10V mode.

• Press "menu" and "up/down" until the display shows "Dmx fail".
• Press "menu" again: the display shows one of the 3 options.
• Press "up/down" until the display shows "Analog"
• Press "esc" to store this option and leave the menu.

- Prog 01 ... Prog 12:

In case of DMX-fail the DSP6 shows one of the 12 built-in patterns.

• Press "menu" and "up/down" until the display shows "Dmx fail".

• Press "esc" to store the selected level and leave the menu.

- Setting the start address for individual channels:

• Press "menu" and "up/down" until the display shows "Dmx addr"
• Press "menu" again: the display shows one of the 2 options.
• Press "up/down" until the display shows "Single"
• Press "menu" to select this option: the display shows the channel number on the first row and the DMX address on the second row.
• Press "menu" to toggle between both rows.
• Press "up/down" to set the desired DMX addresses and channel numbers until all channels are set.
• Press "esc" to store the selected DMX addresses and leave the menu.

PHASE CORRECTION:

To be able to produce perfectly linear curves the DSP6 has phase correction on board. Normally this option should always be switched on. However some control desks have built-in phase correction that can't be switched off. In these cases the phase correction of the DSP6 can be switched off.

- Switching phase correction on/off:

• Press "menu" and "up/down" until the display shows "Pha corr"
• Press "menu" again: the display shows one of the 2 options (on/off)
• Press "up/down" until the display shows the desired option.
