Adjusting The Start Address; Operation Via A Light Controller - IMG STAGELINE LED-300DX/RGB Manual De Instrucciones

4) DIP switch No. 10 (OPTION) will define the behav-
GB
iour of the slave units: opposite to the master unit
(switch set to ON) or identical to it (switch set to the
lower position).
6.3 Remote control LC-3
The remote control LC-3 available as an accessory
allows to control various functions.
1) Connect the remote control to the jack ONLY FOR
REMOTE CONTROL (4).
2) There must be no DMX signal at the DMX INPUT (2).
3) Via the DMX
300DX/RGB or LED-300DX/WS units may be con-
nected ( chapter 6.2) in order to control them
together with the master unit via the remote control.
4) The button STAND BY (10) allows to activate/deac-
tivate the light beams. With the beams deactivated,
the LED next to the button STAND BY will light up.
5) Select the operating mode with the button MODE
(12).
a) When the LED of the button MODE is on, the
Chase mode will be activated. By shortly press-
ing the button FUNCTION (11), the rotation
speed can be selected in eight steps. Each time
the button is pressed, the sense of rotation will
change at the same time.
b) When the LED of the button MODE is off, the
Stroboscope mode will be activated. By keep-
ing the button FUNCTION pressed, one of the
three stroboscope functions can be activated:
1. Permanent stroboscope
2. Stroboscope salvos
3. Music-dependent stroboscope
(for model LED-300DX/RGB only)
When the button FUNCTION is kept pressed
again, the next stroboscope function respec-
tively will be activated.

7 Operation via a Light Controller

For operation via a light controller with DMX512 proto-
col (e. g. DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB by "img Stage
Line"), model LED-300DX/WS is equipped with 2 DMX
control channels and model LED-300DX/RGB with
3 control channels. The functions of the channels and
the DMX values can be found in chapter 8.1.
7.1 Connection
As a DMX interface, the light effect unit is provided with
3-pole XLR jacks of the following pin configuration:
Pin 1 = ground, 2 = DMX-, 3 = DMX+
For connection, special cables for high data flow should
be used. Standard microphone cables with screening
and a minimum cross section of 2 × 0,22 mm
10
OUTPUT (3), further
2
a capacity as low as possible can only be recom-
mended for a total cable length of up to 100 m. For cable
lengths exceeding 150 m it is recommended to insert a
DMX level matching amplifier (e. g. SR-103DMX by
"img Stage Line").
1) Connect the DMX input (2) to the DMX output of the
light controller.
2) Connect the DMX output (3) to the DMX input of the
following light effect unit; connect its output again to
the input of the following unit, etc. until all light effect
units have been connected in a chain.
3) Terminate the DMX output of the last DMX unit in
LED-
the chain with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W): Solder the
resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of an XLR plug and con-
nect the plug to the DMX output or use a corre-
sponding terminating plug (e. g. DLT-123 by "img
Stage Line").

7.2 Adjusting the start address

For operating the LED-300DX/...with a light controller,
adjust the DMX start address for the first DMX channel.
If e. g. address 17 on the controller is provided for con-
trolling the light effect unit, adjust the start address 17
on the LED-300DX/RGB. For model LED-300DX/RGB,
the DMX channels 2 and 3 will then automatically be
assigned to the two following addresses (in this exam-
ple 18 and 19). As the next possible start address for
the following DMX-controlled unit, address 20 could be
used in this example.
The start address is adjusted as a binary number
with the DIP switches Nos. 1 – 9 (8). It will result by
adding the place values of the switches set to "ON".
Examples of the start addresses 1, 6 and 104:
Fig. 6 Start address 1: switch No. 1 set o ON
Fig. 7 Start address 6: switches Nos. 3 and 2 set to ON
Fig. 8 Start address 104: switches Nos. 7, 6 and 4 set to ON
The easiest way is to start from the highest possible
place value and to add the smaller values until the start
and with address will result.
