4 Operation
The operating modes and the setting functions
are selected via a menu by means of the buttons
MENU, ENTER, UP and DOWN. Figure 3 on
page 2 shows the selection of the modes and
functions via the menu and the indications on
the display.
4.1 Independent operation
For independent operation, it is possible to set
the brightness, to activate the stroboscope func-
tion and to set the flash rate on the spotlight.
1) Press the button MENU repeatedly until the
display shows
2) Press the button ENTER once or twice so
that the display shows the brightness ad-
justed (
3) To set the desired brightness, press the but-
tons UP and DOWN.
4) To activate the stroboscope function, press
the button ENTER once again so that the dis-
play shows
5) To set the flash rate (
the buttons UP and DOWN.
6) To change the brightness of the flash, press
the button ENTER to return to the menu item
for the brightness, then press the button UP
or DOWN to change the value.
7) To deactivate the stroboscope function, set
the flash rate to
Note: Do not use the button MENU to exit the menu
item for the brightness or the flash rate before switch-
ing off the spotlight. If you do, the spotlight will remain
dark when it is switched on again.
4.2 Operation with a DMX controller
For operation via a DMX light controller (e. g.
DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB from "img Stage
Line"), the spotlight is equipped with three DMX
control channels. DMX stands for Digital Multi-
plex and means digital control of multiple DMX
units via a common control cable. The functions
of the channels and the DMX values can be
found in chapter 4.2.3 (fig. 6).

4.2.1 Connection
For DMX signal transmission, special cables
should be used (e. g. CDMXN-... from "img
Stage Line"). For cable lengths exceeding
150 m or for control of more than 32 units via a
single DMX output, it is generally recommended
to insert a DMX level matching amplifier (e. g.
SR-103DMX).
1) Connect the input DMX IN to the DMX output
of the light controller or to the DMX output of
another DMX-controlled unit.
For the spotlight ODC-100 / WS, connect
the plug (C) of the cable DMX IN to the inline
jack (D) of the supplied cable equipped with
an XLR plug. Then fasten the nut to secure
this connection.
DMX IN
DMX connection ODC-100 /WS
Use an extension cable to connect the XLR
plug to the DMX output of the light controller
or, if additional DMX-controlled units are
used, to the DMX output of the last DMX-con-
), press
trolled unit.
2) Connect the output DMX OUT to the DMX
input of the second DMX unit. Connect the
output of the second DMX unit to the input of
the third DMX unit etc. until all DMX-con-
trolled units have been connected in a chain.
If the DMX connection cables between
the units are too short when interconnecting
multiple ODC-100 / WS spotlights, use suit-
able extension cables, e. g.
ODP-34DMX
ODP-34DMX / 10 length: 10 m
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): Connect a corre-
sponding terminating plug (e. g. DLT-123 from
"img Stage Line") to the DMX output jack.
The easiest way to terminate the DMX out-
put of the ODC-100/WS is to separate an ex-
tension cable ODP-34DMX and to connect the
resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of the plug. Con-
nect the plug with the resistor to the inline jack
of the cable DMX OUT. If no terminating re-
sistor is required, screw the protective cover
provided onto the inline jack of the cable.
