6. Installation
Choose a suitable mounting spot. Mount the fixture in the desired angle using the included bracket. Connect the power cord to the mains. Disconnect after use.
Mounting the Device
- Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.
The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for 1 hour without deforming. - The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
- Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the installation material to be used... Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries. - For truss mounting, use an appropriate clamp (not incl.) and fit an M10 bolt through the centre of the (folded) bracket.
- Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5m radius of the device. - Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
- Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Do not connect it to a dimming pack.
The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
DMX-512 Connection
- When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input [4] of the VDPL300CD. Multiple VDPL300CDs can be linked through serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link is 32 fixtures. - 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 120 resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket [5] of the last device in the chain.
7. Operation
The VDPL300CD can be used in the following modes:
- stand-alone mode: automatic or sound-activated
- master/slave
with a DMX512 controller.
7.1 Control Panel Navigation

7.3 Stand-Alone Mode
In stand-alone mode, the device runs one of the built-in programs: automatic or sound-activated.
To set the device to stand-alone mode:
- Connect nothing to the DMX input [4] of the device.
- Press
- Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select a built-in program (SH0 ~ SH12) and press <ENTER> .

Setting the Microphone Sensitivity
To change the sensitivity of the internal microphone, proceed as follows:
- Press
- Use <UP> or <DOWN> to change the sensitivity (0 100) and press <ENTER> .
7.4 Master/ Slave Mode
The master/slave mode allows connecting several devices to a single master device. All slave devices will then work synchronously with the master device.
You need to set one device to master mode and all other devices to slave mode.
- Connect all devices in series with DMX cables.
- The first unit in the chain functions as the master fixture. Set up the unit as described in Stand-Alone Mode.
- On the master device, press
- Use <UP> and <DOWN> to choose <MAST> and press <ENTER> .
- On each slave device, press
- Use <UP> and <DOWN> to choose the desired setting:
o < SL1> to run in normal slave mode.
< SL2> to run in reverse slave mode.
- Press
to confirm.
7.5 DMX Mode
This mode allows you to control the fixture by any universal DMX controller.
- 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. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an individual address can be set 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 individual addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
- In case of the 1-channel VDPL300CD, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1), the second to 2 (CH2), the third to 3 (CH3), and so on.
- In case of the 4-channel VDPL300CD, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1~4), the second to 5 (1 + 4) (CH5~8), the third to 9 (5 + 4) (CH9~12), and so on.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
- Press
-
Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select the 1 or 4 channel DMX mode and press <ENTER> .
-
Press
- Use <UP> or <DOWN> to set the DMX starting address (A001 ~ A512) and press <ENTER> .
