For overhead installation, install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. Use only safety wire with screw-on carabine. Fasten the safety cable in the attachment point and around the truss as shown on the picture below. 1-Clamp 2-Trust 3-Safety wire...
3.4 DMX-512 connection The fixture is equipped with 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another. DMX output DMX input XLR socket:...
3.6. Stand-alone and Master/Slave operation The fixtures on a data link are not connected to the controller but can execute pre-set programs which can be different for every fixture. To set the program to be played, see the "Mast/Sla" menu (DMXA ---> Mast/Sla). The Stand-alone operation can be applied to the single fixture or to multiple fixtures operating synchronously.
