2.1

Control and power cables

The Chroma-Q utilises an XLR 4-pin cable system. This is used to supply power and data

transfer. Pins 1 and 4 supply 24VDC power; pins 2 and 3 supply ANSI E1.11 USITT DMX 512-A

control protocol with a ground drain wire to the connector shell.

Only genuine Tourflex Datasafe cable is recommended for use with the Chroma-Q colour

changing system (see Product ordering on page 8).

Damage will occur if the power connections short-circuit to the data or ground / shield

connections. When assembling XLR 4-pin cables, heat shrink sleeving should be used on each

individual data pin and the drain wire to prevent short circuits.

Note: It is very important to ensure that the drain wire from the cable shield is connected to

both connector cases.

The cables are wired pin to pin, in the following format:

System Diagram

Each PSU / splitterbox can accommodate two circuits. The total cable length per circuit must

not exceed 60m / 200ft or a Voltage drop will be imposed on the system. The total quantity of

Chroma-Q Broadway units is dependent on the size of the PSU / splitterbox. (See PSU /

splitterbox capacities on page 5 or in the User Manual of each PSU / splitterbox.)

2.2

Setting the DMX address

The DMX address for each unit is set using the 10 way binary switch on the back of the unit

(see page 3). The address switches are pushed up (rotated) to the on setting. Add the address

together to reach the control address required. Example: 1 + 2 = 3, 4 + 64 + 256 = 324.

The Chroma-Q can also be set to a second motor speed. By moving switch 10 on the binary dip

switch to the on (up) position, the inherent speed of the Chroma-Q will decrease by

approximately 50% (ideal for environments that are particularly noise sensitive).
