Sound Controlled Mode; Automatic Mode; Master/Slave Mode - HQ-Power VDPLDJBAR6 Manual Del Usuario

o Remove both bolts [K] from the batten and replace them by 2 truss clamps (not incl.).
Note: ALWAYS mount the batten with two clamps!
o The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
o Never stand directly below the batten when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a
qualified technician check the batten once a year and once before you bring it into service.
o Install the batten in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised
persons.
o Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the batten.
o The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
4-way footswitch:
o Connect the footswitch to the light fixture [I].
DMX-512 connection
Refer to the illustrations on page 3 of this manual.
• When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.)
and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input [E] of the VDPLDJBAR6. Multiple
VDPLDJBAR6's can be linked through serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core,
screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
• 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
[F] of the last device in the chain.
Connection to the AC Power Supply
The AC socket providing power to the VDPLDJBAR6 batten must be properly and
separately earthed. Do not use any other AC cords than the one provided or any
other AC cord not authorized by the manufacturer.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the batten to the mains with the power plug [C]. Make sure the used mains circuit is
protected by a 30mA Residual Current Device (RCD). Do not connect it to a dimming pack.
• Replace a blown fuse only with an identical fuse (F2A/250V).
7. Operation
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
• The VDPLDJBAR6 can operate in five modes: sound controlled, automatic mode,
master/slave mode, DMX controlled mode or foot switch mode.

Sound controlled mode

• Set DIP switch 10 to the OFF-position to enable sound controlled mode.
• Set the microphone [G] sensitivity with the sensitivity knob [H].

Automatic mode

• Set DIP switch 9 to the ON-position and DIP switch 10 to the OFF-position to enable automatic
mode.
• Set the program speed with switches 1 to 3.

Master/slave mode

• Connect multiple VDPLDJBAR6's as described in §6.
• Set the master VDPLDJBAR6 to sound controlled or automatic mode.
• Set DIP switch 1 and 10 on the slaves to ON to enable slave mode.
DMX controlled mode
• Set DIP switch 10 to the ON-position to enable DMX controlled mode.
• All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to
the signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to
"listen" to the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of
devices or an individual address can be set for every device.
• When all devices have the same address, all the units 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 individual addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel
