BATTERY PRECAUTIONS Battery Storage: When storing the battery, it should be stored at room temperature, with a charge of at least 50%. We recommend that during long periods of storage that the battery be charged every 6 months. Doing this will prolong the life of the battery and will also make sure that the battery charge does not fall below the 30% mark.
OVERVIEW DMX Connections and Power Connections: All connections are located underneath the unit. You will find all connections and other features pointed out below. 1. Battery On/Off Switch: This switch is used to turn ON battery power and also turn ON the PCB output.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation): The Element QA can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Element Hex has 5 DMX modes, please see pages 13 or 19 for the different modes. The DMX address is set on the front panel of the Element QA. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output (Figure 1).
Page 12
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. Termination reduces signal errors and avoids signal transmission problems and interference.
In the case of the Element Hex, when in 6 channel mode you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 7 (6 + 1), the third unit to 13 (7 + 6), and so on.
Operating through a DMX controller gives the user the freedom to create their own programs tai- lored to their own individual needs. The Element Hex has 5 DMX modes: 6 channel mode, 7 channel mode, 8 channel mode, 11 channel mode, and 12 channel mode. See the DMX Traits section of this manual for each modes DMX traits.
