3.3 Connections
3.3.1 Power supply
115v ~ 60Hz AC (America’s),
Connected load 500W <=> 4.4 A (blind current compensation)
or 230V ~ 50Hz AC (EU),
Connected load 500W <=> 2.2 A (blind current compensation)
Operating voltage is pre-selected at the factory and is not user selectable.
Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be sure
your fixture voltage matches that of the outlet. The voltage requirements for
the fixture are clearly printed on the side panel near the power cord.
3.3.2 DMX-512
3-Pin XLR Input/Output. [+] = Pin 3 / [-] = Pin 2 / [Ground] = Pin 1
3.4 DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by
most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication between
intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions
from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from
fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all
DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT” terminal). DMX Linking:
DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be
linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the
controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when
using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in
which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX
addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed
anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle.
Therefore, the first fixture controlled by the controller could be the last fixture in the
chain. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows
to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that fixture, no matter where it is located in
the DMX chain.
3.5 Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation):
The Power Wash 250B™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Power
Wash 250B™ is a 14 channel DMX fixture. The DMX address is set electronically
using the controls on the side panel of the fixture. Your fixture and your DMX
