  • Page 23: Control Data Link

    Control data link Extube fixtures must be connected via a data link to allow DMX control. The following considerations must be taken into account when planning the data link: • RS-485 data cable designed for exterior use is required for outdoor installations.
  • Page 24 (see "Maximum interconnected length per power input" on page 43), including lines of fixtures that are interconnected using Extube Extension Kits. Data connection pinouts XLR connection XLR connectors are suitable if the DMX controller has XLR output sockets.

  • Page 25: Connecting The Data Link

    The Extube Connection Kit that must be ordered separately (EU type: P/N 91610086, US type: P/N 91610087) is supplied with a 1.8 meter (5 ft.10 in.) data cable tail for data connection.

    Windows PC (a laptop is most convenient) and features an intuitive GUI (graphic user interface). Using MUM, you can connect to and set up one Extube fixture or one interconnected line of fixtures at a time. After you have set up an Extube installation, you can run a simple test sequence using MUM, but for full control you must connect a DMX controller to the data link.
  • Page 27 Communicating with segments A segment consists of either a single 300 mm Extube or a 300 mm section of a 1200 mm Extube. Depending on how you set up the installation, segments can be controlled separately or put into groups.

    The Extube’s software monitors operation. If it detects an error, it displays diagnostic information in the Fixture info window.

  • Page 29: Fixture Settings

    Fixture settings The Fixture settings window lets you select DMX modes (i.e. color control options), group segments into pixels, and set DMX addresses. DMX mode The Fixture settings window lets you select a DMX mode (RGB, RGBW, HSI or HSIC color control) for the fixtures or pixels in your installation. It is possible to set different pixels to different DMX modes by scrolling between pixels using the scroll arrows and changing the DMX mode setting for each pixel.

  • Page 31 segment’s DMX address of the will be set to 1, the next segment will be set to 5, the next segment to 9, and so on. You can now control all the segments in your installation separately as individual pixels when you connect a DMX controller to the data link. Depending on the DMX mode you have selected, the installation will use 3 or 4 DMX channels per segment, starting at channel 1 on your controller.
  • Page 32 PCB voltage data and LED and PCB temperatures for each segment can be displayed in MUM’s Monitor window. LED Test The Extube’s LEDs can be activated without a DMX controller for test purposes in MUM’s LED Test window. Auto test all starts colors flashing in sequence. Flash speed can be adjusted.
