Chapter 2. Installation
2.1 Hardware
Most of the hardware connections are done on the back panel of the console.
MAINS
2.1.1 Power connection
The Xciter does not need a mains adapter. It takes main supply directly into the IEC mains
connector. The power supply will automatically adapt to the mains voltage that is used in your area.
The power supply is quite insensitive to power drops. It can handle drops of up to 0.5 s.
The power supply is wide range:
•
90VAC – 260VAC
•
50Hz – 60Hz
2.1.2 DMX connection
Xciter has one DMX-512 universe. On the back panel of the console you can see one 5-pin input,
one 3-pin output and one 5-pin output. The 3-pin and 5-pin outputs belong to the same DMX
universe but they are both buffered. This means they can be used together without violating the
DMX specifications.
2.1.2.1 Devices
2.1.2.2 Master/slave
Because the 3-pin and 5-pin DMX out can be used together, you can link two consoles together and
attach your devices at the same time. If you want to link more slaves to the master, you need a
splitter.
