4.2.1 Connection
For DMX connection, 3-pole XLR connectors
with the following pin configurations are avail-
able:
Pin 1 = ground, 2 = DMX-, 3 = DMX+
For connection, special cables for DMX sig-
nal transmission are recommended (e. g.
cables of the CDMXN series from "img Stage
Line"). For cable lengths exceeding 150 m
and when controlling more than 32 units via a
single DMX output, it is generally recom-
mended to insert a DMX level matching
amplifier (e. g. SR-103DMX from "img Stage
Line").
1) Connect the input DMX IN to the DMX out-
put of the light controller or of another
DMX-controlled unit.
2) Connect the output DMX OUT to the DMX
input of the second DMX-controlled unit.
Proceed in the same way to connect the
output of the second unit to the input of the
third unit etc. until all DMX-controlled units
have been connected in a chain.
3) To prevent interference in signal transmis-
sion, in case of long cables or a multitude
of units connected in series, terminate the
DMX output of the last DMX unit in the
chain with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W): Con-
nect a corresponding terminating plug
(e. g. DLT-123 from "img Stage Line") to
the DMX output jack.
4.2.2 Setting the number of DMX channels
and the start address
For separate control of all DMX units con-
nected to the light controller, each unit must
have its own start address. Example: If the
first DMX channel of the BEAM-40 is to be
controlled by the light controller via DMX
address 6, set the start address on the
BEAM-40 to 6. All other DMX channels of the
10
BEAM-40 will be automatically assigned to
the subsequent addresses. Examples with
different start addresses:

1) Press the button MENU repeatedly until
the display shows
ber.
2) Set the desired number of channels with
the button UP or DOWN and press the but-
ton ENTER to confirm.
3) Press the button MENU repeatedly until
the display shows (address) and the cur-
rent start address.
4) Set the desired address with the button UP
or DOWN and press the button ENTER to
confirm.
5) For DMX control of the moving head, the
menu item for the start address must be
selected all the time. As soon as a DMX
control signal is received, a dot will light up
on the display. The DMX functions can be
found in the next chapter.
Hint: When two or multiple BEAM-40 are synchro-
nously controlled via the same start address, set the
moving head of one or multiple units to the opposite
pan direction and / or tilt direction (chapter 4.3). Thus,
with a pair of units, the heads will move in opposite
directions (mirror-inverted).
