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 VDPL300QF. Multiple VDPL300QFs 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
DMX 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
VDPL300QF.
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 VDPL300QFs 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 VDPL300QF, you will have to set the start address of the first
VDPL300QF to 1, the second VDPL300QF to 7 (1 + 6), the third to 13 (7 + 6) and so on.

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.
