Setup
Warnings and Precautions
DANGER
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
This device is IP65 rated.
●
Do not expose the device to conditions that exceed the rated IP class conditions.
●
Keep the connectors sealed with the rubber caps when the connectors are not in use.
●
Do not connect the cables from above the connectors, if the device is installed outdoors. Make a
'drip loop' in the cable so that rain water cannot enter the device.
●
Make sure that the cable run is not too heavy. A heavy cable run can cause damage to the
connectors. If the connectors are damaged, their ingress protection (IP) can deteriorate.
Attention
Connect all data cables before supplying power.
Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.
Stand-alone Setup
When the Cameleon PixelBar 15 Q6 Tour is not connected to a controller or to other devices, it functions
as a stand-alone device.
For more information about the control modes, refer to 6.2. Control Modes on page 18.
DMX Connection
DMX-512 Protocol
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 control mode.
The Cameleon PixelBar 15 Q6 Tour has 3-pin DMX signal IN and OUT connectors.
The pin assignment is as follows: pin 1 (ground), pin 2 (-), pin 3 (+).
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
