Frequently Asked Questions - DMX Operator 192 Eurolite

How to program a scene on the DMX Operator 192?

Press and hold the Program button until the LED flashes. Select a Bank using the Bank buttons, then a fixture using the Projector Select buttons. Set the channels with the faders, then press Add and the Scene button to store the scene. Repeat for subsequent scenes. Press Program to exit.

How to use sound control?

Press the Music button to activate sound control (the LED lights up). The controller will then respond to the audio signal picked up by the built-in microphone. When there is no music, programs and chasers stop.

How to connect DMX fixtures to the controller?

Connect the DMX OUT of the controller to the DMX input of the first fixture using a 3-pin XLR cable. Then, link the output of each fixture to the input of the next. The last fixture must be terminated with a 120 Ω resistor between Signal (-) and Signal (+).

What is the Blackout function for?

The Blackout button immediately cuts the light of all connected fixtures via the shutter. This allows you to darken the stage quickly without turning off the devices.

How to copy a scene from one program to another?

Press and hold Program, select the source Bank, then the scene to copy using the Scene buttons. Press Add, then choose the destination Bank and the corresponding Scene button to paste the copy.

How to delete an entire program?

Press and hold Program, select the Bank to delete using the Bank buttons. Press the Del and Bank Copy buttons simultaneously. Note: This action is irreversible.

How to set up MIDI control?

Press MIDI to enter MIDI channel setting mode. Use the Bank buttons to select the desired channel (1 to 16). Press MIDI again to confirm. Refer to the MIDI note table in the manual to assign each note to a function.

How to reset all chasers?

Unplug the device. Hold down the Bank Down and Del buttons while reconnecting power. All chasers will be cleared, but programs and individual scenes remain.

What to do if the device does not power on?

Check that the power supply is correctly connected and the cable is not damaged. Ensure the mains socket is working. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.

How to clean the DMX Operator 192?

Use a slightly damp (not wet) lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol, solvents, or detergents. Always disconnect the device before cleaning.

The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.

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.

Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the DMX Operator with the DMX-input of the nearest projector. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.

Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor between Signal (−) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

Projector addressing

Please note that the DMX Operator assigns the DMX-starting addresses every 16 steps. You have to

English

address every projector to the respective starting address. Otherwise, the channel assignment will not be correct. All projectors with the same starting address work synchronically.

Projector	Starting address	Projector	Starting address	Projector	Starting address
Projector 1 1	Projector 3 33 Projector 5 65
Projector 2 17	Projector 4 49 Projector 6 81
Projector 7 97	Projector 8 113 Projector 9 129
Projector 10	145 Projector 11 161 Projector 12	177

5.4 Connection of the Remote Switch socket

You can connect analogue-controlled devices, e. g. smoke-machines with low voltage connector to the Remote Switch socket.

This socket is only meant for low voltage!

The pin occupation of the stereo jack socket is as follows:

Tip = signal

Sleeve = switch

Ring = 10 V
