Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source volt-

age in your area matches the required voltage for your American DJ®
Galaxian.™ The American DJ® Galaxian™ is available in a 120v and
220v version. Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue,
you should be sure your unit voltage matches the wall outlet voltage

before attempting to operate you xture. Also be sure to only use the

included I.E.C. power cable supplied with the unit, this cable matches
the voltage and current requirements of the unit.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-

tocol 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 xtures 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 unit, no matter where it is located in the
DMX chain.
