Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next

fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are

connected.

Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a

120 resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the

DMX-output of the last fixture.

After you connect the item to the mains, the item starts running. During the Reset, the motors

are trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards. Turn the objective-lens for adjusting

the focus in order to obtain a sharp projection. The four-digital LED display on the back side of

the item allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as the first channel

from which the item will respond to the controller. If you set, for example, the address to

channel 7, the item will use the channel 7 to 12 for control. Please, be sure that you don't have

any overlapping channels in order to control each item correctly and independently from any

other fixture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more items are addressed similarly, they will

work similarly. When the item finishes resetting, R-OO1 will flash in the led display and then

set the desired DMX address by pressing the UP or DOWN buttons.
