8 DMX Operation
For operation via a DMX controller (e. g. DMX-1440 or
DMX-510USB from "img Stage Line"), the FM-200H is
provided with two DMX control channels. DMX is short
for digital multiplex and means digital control of sev-
eral DMX units via a common control cable.
8.1 Connection
For DMX connection, 3-pole XLR connectors with the
following pin configuration are provided:
Pin 1 = ground, Pin 2 = DMX-, Pin 3 = DMX+
For connection, special cables for DMX signal trans-
mission are recommended (e. g. cables of the CDMXN
series from "img Stage Line"). For cable lengths ex -
ceeding 150 m, it is generally recommended to insert a
DMX level matching amplifier (e. g. SR-103DMX from
"img Stage Line"). Make the DMX connections as fol-
lows:
1) Connect the DMX input (6) to the DMX output of the
DMX controller or to the DMX output of a DMX-con-
trolled unit.
2) Connect the DMX output (7) to the DMX input of the
following DMX-controlled unit; connect its output
again to the input of the following unit, etc. until all
DMX-controlled units have been connected in a
chain.
The jack DMX OUT (7) has a locking mecha-
nism. To remove the plug, press the PUSH lever.
3) To prevent interference in signal transmission, in
case of long cables or a multitude of units con-
nected in series, terminate the DMX output of the
last DMX unit in the chain with a 120 Ω resistor
(> 0.3 W): Connect a corresponding terminating
plug (e. g. DLT-123 from "img Stage Line") to the
DMX output jack.
8.2 Setting the DMX address
For separate control of the DMX units connected to
the DMX controller, each unit must have its own
start address. Example: If the first DMX channel of
the FM-200H is to be controlled by the DMX controller
via DMX address 5, set the start address 5 on the
FM-200H. The second DMX channel of the FM-200H
is automatically assigned to the address following it
(i. e. address 6 in this example). Address 7 would be
available for controlling the next DMX unit.
The address is set as a binary number via the DIP
switches (3). It is the sum of the position values (mark-
ing "1 ... 256") of the DIP switches set to "ON", e. g.:

The easiest way to do this is to start with the highest
position value and to add the smaller values until the
address results as a sum.
Important: For DMX control, always set DIP switch 10
to the left position (OFF).
8.3 Operation via DMX controller
After heating up [approximately two minutes after
switching on when the red LED (2) is extinguished for
the first time], the hazer is ready for use.
1) Switch on the DMX controller.
2) Set the two channels of the DMX controller which
are used to control the FM-200H to the desired
DMX values.

Notes
1. There is no immediate haze output. Before haze is emit-
ted, a sufficient quantity of fog fluid must be pumped to the
output nozzle.
2. In the DMX mode, it is not possible to operate the hazer
via remote control.
