7. DMX Connection
DMX-512 Connection
When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and the
other side to the male XLR input [8] of the device. Multiple devices 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 120 Ω
resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket [8] of the last
device in the chain.
DMX Start Address
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
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
In case of the 2-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1-2),
the second to 3 (1 + 2) (CH3-4), the third to 5 (3 + 2) (CH5-6), and so on. The highest start address
is 511.
Note: Channel 1 controls the smoke output, channel 2 the fan speed.
Set the desired start address via the DIP switches [7].
8. Cleaning and Maintenance
All screws should be tightened and free of corrosion.
The housing, the lenses, the mounting supports and the installation location (e.g. ceiling, suspension,
trussing) should not be deformed, modified or tampered with; e.g. do not drill extra holes in
mounting supports, do not change the location of the connections…
The electric power supply cables must not show any damage. Have a qualified technician maintain
the device.
Disconnect the device from the mains prior to maintenance activities. Let the device cool down.
Clean the machine every 40 hours of operation or every 2 months, whichever comes first.
o Dismount and clean the nozzle with vinegar and make sure there are no particles left.
o Empty the tank and fill it with smoke machine cleaning liquid (order code VDLCL, not incl.).
Operate the machine until the tank is empty.
o Reassemble the nozzle and fill with regular smoke liquid for the next operation.
There are no user-serviceable parts.
Contact your dealer for spare parts if necessary.
