VDPLW1036_v3 HQPOWER™ 6
DMX512 Chain with Termination
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 of
the last device in the chain.
Please see illustrations.
DMX512 Address Selection
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX
controller. Enter the correct number and read it from the display located on the base of the
VDPLW1036. You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an
individual one for every device. When all devices have the same address, all the VDPLW1036s 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 different addresses, each device will “listen”
to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in
question. In the case of the 3-channel VDPLW1036, you will have to set the start address of the
first VDPLW1036 to 1, the second VDPLW1036 to 4 (1 + 3), the third to 7 (4 + 3) and so on.
