b) The Fuse
• Disconnect the unit from the mains to fit or replace the fuse.
• If the lamp burns out, chances are you will need to replace the fuse on the rear panel of the base as well.
• Replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating (see 7. Technical Specifications, page 4) :
1. Remove the fuse holder from the rear panel.
2. Remove the old fuse and install a new one.
3. Replace the fuse holder.
c) The Device
• Disconnect the unit from the mains to fit or replace the fuse.
• A qualified person should install this device in full compliance with EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.
• The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight for one hour
without deformation.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable (VDLSC7 or VDLSC8).
• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified technician
check the device before you bring it into service. Have a qualified technician check the entire installation once a
year.
• Install the device in a location where few people pass by and that is unreachable for unauthorised persons.
• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience : calculating work load limits, determining the installation
material to be used... Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install the
device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device.
• A qualified electrician should carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. In general, lighting effects should not be connected to
dimming packs.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
5. Operating Instructions
a) DMX control
Connect the provided XLR cable with the female 3-pin XLR
output of your controller and connect the other side to the male
3-pin XLR input of the VDP150BR3. You can connect multiple
VDP150BR3's in series. Use a screened cable with XLR input
and output connectors. Please refer to the figure.
b) DMX-512 Connection with DMX Termination
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long
distance or is used 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 120 resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output
socket of the last device in the chain. Refer to the illustration on the left.
