Lamphead Connections
When using TruColor LS with the DX450 power supply,
an optional three-way splitter can be used to supply
power and control to (3) LS fixtures. The three “legs” on
the splitter are identified with red bands on the cable, as
channel 1, channel 2 and channel 3. Unused splitter legs
do not need to be terminated.
DMX Connections
The DX450 uses industry standard 5-Pin XLR male and female connectors to receive DMX
signals and output DMX signals. The DMX port is self-terminating and does not require
external DMX termination when used in a chain.
The DMX pin wiring is as follows:
• Pin 1: Signal Common
• Pin 2: Data -
• Pin 3: Data +
• Pin 4: Spare
• Pin 5: Spare
DMX Operation
Select the primary DMX address via the 3-segment push-button switches located on the
front of the DX450. DMX channels 1-500 will provide single channel control to all attached LS
lampheads uniformly. Setting DMX valves of 501-998 will provide 3 channels of independent
DMX control for individual manipulation of attached LS lampheads when used with the three-
way splitter. For example, setting the DX450 to address 501 will place control of the first LS
lamphead at DMX address 001; the second and third attached lampheads are controlled at
addresses 002 and 003 respectively. DMX values of 10-255 will set dimming levels from 10%
to 100%.
Indicator Lights
The front panel of the DX450 includes three LED indicators. By observing that state of these
indicators, the operating state of the power supply can be determined:
n RED
The Red indicator above the switch will illuminate when power is being received by the
DX450. The lamphead will turn on within two seconds.
n YELLOW
The Yellow indicator lights up when all control is through the on-board dimmer, or “local”
control.
n GREEN
The Green indicator will illuminate when valid DMX signal is present on the DMX Input jack.
