DMX SETUP

Power Supply: Each of these devices contains an automatic voltage switch, which will automatically sense the voltage when the device is plugged into a power source. With this switch, there is no need to worry about the correct power voltage, and this unit can be plugged in anywhere. Always use the power cord that is included with the device.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA "IN" and DATA "OUT" XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA "OUT" terminal).

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufacturers to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, try to use the shortest cable path possible when linking several DMX fixtures. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example, a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line: at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation): The units in this package can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol and feature 5 selectable DMX modes. Please refer to the DMX Traits section of this manual for detailed information. The DMX address can be set using the controls on the rear panel of the unit. These units and your DMX controller require an approved DMX-512 110 ohm data cable for data input/output. We recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all pro lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

DMX SETUP

Notice: Be sure to the figures below when making your own cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable's shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR's outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.

Eliminator Lighting Dotz Tpar System Plus - DMX SETUP - 2

A DMX512 terminator reduces signal errors, avoiding most signal reflection interference. Connect PIN 2 (DMX-) and PIN 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture in series with a 120 Ohm, 1/4 W Resistor to terminate the DMX512.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors: Some manufacturers use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be integrated into a 3-pin DMX line with a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter cable. These adapters are readily available at most electronics stores. Follow the chart below for a proper conversion.

DMX SETUP

DMX Addressing:

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, in order to ensure that the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control display on the fixture.

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for each individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react in the same way; in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to "listen" to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture. For instance, when this unit is set to 3 Channel mode, you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 4 (1 + 3), the third unit to 7 (1 + 3 + 3), etc...

POWER CORD DAISY CHAIN

This feature allows the fixtures to be linked via the IEC input and output sockets.

The maximum number of fixtures that can be connected in this manner is as follows:

• 7 fixtures maximum for 120V
• 14 fixtures maximum for 230V

After this maximum number of fixtures has been linked, a new power outlet must be used for any additional fixtures. All linked fixtures should be of the same make and model type. DO NOT mix fixtures.

ALTERNATE LIGHTING INSTALLATION

One of this system's special features is the ability to mount two light effects on top of the T-bar. These lights can then be powered by plugging the power cords directly into the bar, with power sockets located on the right side and left side. There is also a middle power socket for power cord daisy chaining only. Do not use the middle power socket to power your added lights.

To add the lights onto the top of the T-bar, first make sure that the T-bar is secure and set up on the stand correctly, then follow the instructions below.

  1. Unscrew the black knob that is attached to the bolt.
  2. Use the mounting bracket on the lighting effect to attach the lighting effect to the bolt on the T-bar.
  3. Screw the black knob back in and tighten. See the sample pictures below.
  4. Plug the mounted lights into their respective power jacks.

FUSE REPLACEMENT

Locate and remove the unit's power cord, then locate the fuse holder inside the power socket. Insert a flat-head screw driver into the power socket and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and replace with a new fuse of the same rating. Please note that the fuse holder has a built-in socket for a spare fuse. Make sure not to confuse the spare fuse for the active fuse.

CLEANING

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust, cleaning the internal and external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Periodically use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter, with possible solutions.

Unit does not respond to DMX:

Check that the DMX cables are connected and wired correctly (pin 3 is "hot"; on some other DMX devices pin 2 may be "hot"). Also, check that all cables are connected to the right connectors, as the order in which the inputs and outputs are connected can affect the operation of the device.

Unit does not respond to sound:

  • Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit.
  • Make sure that Sound Active mode is activated.
