Resumen del manual
To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow beginning on page 10 as well as the that are included with your DMX controller. 3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits. 4. This will allow you to create custom programs. 5. When using a DMX controller and setting up for DMX follow the dip switch settings on page 15. 6. For help operating in DMX operation consult the manual included with your DMX controller. 7. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on the last fixture in you DMX chain. DMX Linking: To next DMX unit or terminate. © American DJ Supply ® - - Color 150/RG™ Instruction Manual Page 9 Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source voltage in your area American DJ ® Color 150/RG.™ Because may vary from venue venue, you should be sure voltage before attempting DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of communication and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions 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 different manufactures to be linked together and operate controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. 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. Dip-switches in DMX mode: This unit uses dip switches to assign a DMX address. Each dip switch represents a binary value. Dip Switch 1 address equals 1 DMX CHANNEL Dip Switch 2 address equals 2 Dip Switch 3 address equals 4 2 8 32 128 SP Dip Switch 4 address equals 8 Dip Switch 5 address equals 16 Dip Switch 6 address equals 32 ON Dip Switch 7 address equals 64 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 910 Dip Switch 8 address equals 128 Dip Switch 9 address equals 256 1 4 16 65 256 Each dip switch has a preset value. A specific DMX address is set by combining the dip switches that sum your desired value.

Your unit excepts 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output (Figure 5). When using a DMX controller XLR output jacks or when linking from a DMX fixture with 5-Pin XLR jack to the Color 150/RG™, be sure to follow the pin conversion chart on page 12. If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard two conductor shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all pro sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and can not be split. Figure 5 Notice: Be sure to follow figures 6 and 7 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.

When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor between pins 2 and 3 of a male + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using (ADJ part number ZDMX/T) will decrease the possibilities behavior. 1 2 3 Termination reduces signal errors and avoids signal transmission problems and interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-) and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture. Figure 8 5-Pin XLR DMX...
