Maintenance - HQ Power VDPLW108 User Manual

e. DMX512 Start Address
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals.
This start address is the channel number from which the device starts to "listen" to the DMX controller.
Enter the correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the VDPLW108.
You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one for every
device.
When all devices have the same address, all the VDPLW108s will "listen" to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set different addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel number.
Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
In the case of the 6-channel VDPLW108, you will have to set the start address of the first VDPLW108
to 1, the second VDPLW108 to 7 (1 + 6), the third to 13 (7 + 6) and so on.

7. Maintenance

1. All screws should be tightened and free of corrosion.
2. The housing, visible parts, mounting supports and the installation location (e.g. ceiling, suspension,
trussing) should not be deformed, modified or tampered with e.g. do not drill extra holes in mounting
supports, do not change the location of the connections.
3. Moving mechanic parts must not show any signs of wear and tear.
4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damage. Have a qualified technician maintain the
device.
5. Disconnect the device from the mains prior to maintenance activities.
6. Wipe the device regularly with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
7. There are no user-serviceable parts.
8. Contact your dealer for spare parts if necessary.

A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to
run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The
terminator prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120Ω resistor between pins 2
and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the last device in the
chain. Please see illustrations.
