ACT PC 60 RGBW

Setup

Attention

Connect all data cables before supplying power.

Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.

When the ACT PC 60 RGBW is not connected to a controller or to other devices, it functions as a stand-

alone device. It can be operated manually, in auto mode or in sound-controlled mode.

For more information about the control modes, refer to 6.2. Control Modes on page 19.

You need a DMX serial data link to run light shows of one or more devices using a DMX-512 controller or

to run synchronized shows of two or more devices set in a master/slave operating mode.

The ACT PC 60 RGBW has 3-pin DMX signal IN and OUT connectors.

The pin assignment is as follows:

1. Ground

2. Signal (-)

3. Signal (+)

Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. The number of devices that you can

control on one data link is limited by the combined number of the DMX channels of the connected

devices and the 512 channels available in one DMX universe.

To comply with the TIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link.

In order to connect more than 32 devices on one data link, you must use a DMX optically isolated

splitter/booster, otherwise this may result in deterioration of the DMX signal.

Note:

●

Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 300 m

●

Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 32 devices
