    We will also assume that commands from the DMX controller to the first EvenLED panel on the DMX link are sent on channels 1 - 96 (other channels can be used if a Martin DMX Thief™ is connected on the control data link).

    32 devices or split it into two or more branches. • Terminate each chain on the link with a 120 ohm resistor (available from Martin, P/N 04150308) across the data hot (+) and cold (-) conductors (pins 2 and 3 on a 5-pin XLR connector) at the output of the last panel on the chain.

  • Page 13: System Layouts

    System layouts Figure 8 gives examples of how systems can be laid out depending on the type of control required. Note the different results of connecting to DMX THROUGH or to DMX OUT. Panels are set to 16-bit mode in all the examples.

  • Page 14: Connecting The System

    Connecting the system Connectors – overview Figure 9: Connections See Figure 9. The EvenLED panel must be connected to power and to a DMX control data link using the following connectors: DMX connectors (5-pin XLR) • DMX IN accepts a DMX 512 control signal. It reads DMX commands sent to the first incoming DMX address and assigns that as the starting address for the EvenLED panel.

  • Page 15: Ac Power

    Warning! Connect EvenLED panels to AC power and to each other using the 20 A rated, UL-listed, 12 AWG cables supplied by Martin as accessories for this product. Replacement power cables from other sources can be used as an alternative, but they must be 3-conductor SJT or better jacket-type, approved for a current of 20 A and temperature of 90°...

  • Page 16: Connecting To Power

    Table 1: Conductor identification If you choose not to use the EvenLED power cables available from Martin, you must use power cable that is rated 20 A minimum and suitable for the installation environment, SJT or better jacket type, and rated to 90°...

  • Page 17: Current Overload Safety

    Disconnect the panel from power and contact your Martin supplier for assistance. If the current overload protection circuit fails, a 6.3 amp fast-blow fuse in the PSU provides a final total protection.

  • Page 21: Configuring Panels Using A Dmx Controller

    • EvenLED panels must be interconnected using DMX THROUGH connectors. The DMX OUT connectors do not relay mode-setting data. • Any Martin DMX Thief™ devices on the DMX link must be bypassed temporarily by disconnecting the DMX cable connectors from their DMX IN and DMX OUT sockets and connecting the DMX cable connectors directly together.

  • Page 22: Mode-Setting Procedure

    Mode-setting procedure To set the modes in EvenLED panels: 1. Power all panels off. 2. See Table 2. Set the controller to send the ‘panel configuration enable’ DMX values in Step 1. 3. Power panels on. When panels receive the ‘panel configuration enable’ values at power on, they will display their software versions and their mode settings in an alternating sequence until they receive the DMX values for Step 2 from the DMX controller.

  • Page 23: Mode-Setting Dmx Sequence

    • Panel control Y-axis inversion so that LEDs are numbered from the top of the panel. • 8- or 16-bit mode DMX output and input configurations See the user manual supplied with the DMX Thief and available for download from www.martin.com for full details.

    Please contact your Martin supplier for details. It is Martin policy to apply the strictest possible calibration procedures and use the best quality materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. However, LEDs are subject to wear and tear over the life of the product, resulting in gradual changes in color and overall brightness over many thousands of hours of use.
