Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the
installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not
attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may
result in injuries.
Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.
Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All devices must be powered directly off a
grounded switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or
dimmer channel is used solely for 0 % to 100 % switching.
The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.

Serial Linking
Connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of the controller and the other side to the male
3-pin XLR input of the next controller. The linking cable should be a two-core screened cable with XLR
input and output connectors.
DMX Chain with Terminator
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 of the
last device in the chain. Please see illustrations.
