If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly
with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other
XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor
between Signal () and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Stand Alone operation
In Stand Alone mode, the LED SCAN can be used without a controller. You can do without a controller as
the LED SCAN features a built-in microphone, which provides automatic sound control. Disconnect the LED
SCAN from the controller and select the desired "Master Mode”.
Master/Slave-operation
Connect the master and slave-devices and adjust the settings as described above.
DMX-controlled operation
You can control the projectors individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different
occupation with different features.
Addressing
The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as the first channel from
which the LED SCAN will respond to the controller.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each LED SCAN correctly
and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more LED SCAN are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address setting, press the Mode-button until the display shows A.001“ and set the desired address via the
Up/Down-buttons.
Controlling:
After having addressed all LED SCAN , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the LED SCAN will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If
the data is received, the display will show "A.001" with the actually set address. If there is no data
received at the DMX-input, the display will show "A001".
This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the LED SCAN .
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap
in the input connector.
Note: It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last lighting in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
