DMX512 Connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male
3-pin XLR input of the VDPLPPS. Multiple VDPLPPSs can be linked through serial linking. The linking cable
should be a two-core screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
DMX512 Chain with Termination
DMX512 Start Address
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals. This
start address is the channel number from which the device starts to "listen" to the DMX controller. Enter the
correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the VDPLPPS.
You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one for every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the VDPLPPSs will "listen" to the control signal on one particular
channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices simultaneously. If you set
different addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of one channel
will only affect the device in question.
In the case of the 6-channel VDPLPPS, you will have to set the start address of the first VDPLPPS to 1, the
second VDPLPPS to 7 (1 + 6), the third to 13 (7 + 6) and so on.
7. Cleaning and Maintenance
1. All screws should be tightened and free of corrosion.
2. The housing, visible parts, mounting supports and the installation location (e.g. ceiling, suspension, trussing)
should not be deformed, modified or tampered with e.g. do not drill extra holes in mounting supports, do not
change the location of the connections.
3. Moving mechanic parts must not show any signs of wear and tear.
4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damage. Have a qualified technician maintain the device.
5. Disconnect the device from the mains prior to maintenance activities.
6. Wipe the device regularly with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.

A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long
distance or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents
corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an
XLR plug with a 120Ω resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR
output socket of the last device in the chain.
