Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source volt-
age in your area matches the required voltage for your Elation ELED
Par RGB Zoom. The Elation ELED Par RGB Zoom is available in a 120v
and 220v version. Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue,
you should be sure your unit voltages matches the wall outlet voltage
before attempting to operate you fixture.
DMX-512:
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures
and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from
the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that trav-
els from fixture to fixture via the DATA "IN" and DATA "OUT" XLR ter-
minals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA
"OUT" terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of
different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single
controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compli-
ant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several
DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order
in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the
DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1
may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end,
or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address
of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1
to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation):
The ELED Par RGB Zoom can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The
ELED Par RGB Zoom has 6 DMX channels. The DMX address is set
electronically using the controls on the rear panel of the unit. Your unit
and your DMX controller require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data
cable for data input and data output. We recommend Accu-Cable DMX
cables. If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard
110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost
all professional sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be made
with a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also
remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Special Note: Line Termination.
used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic
behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-
nected between pins 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.

standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be
used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The
