RDMX |
Regarding RDMX :
1.The units will be shipped preset in 16 channel increments from the factory
2.While using RDMX, if all units are set to the same DMX address, all units will change to the new DMX address you selected.
EXAMPLE: You have four units, and all the units are set to the DMX address of “1”, and you change one unit to DMX address “17”, this will cause all the units to change to DMX address “17”.
All four units must be on 4 different starting addresses to individually set the DMX addresses for each unit.
For more on this feature see pages 25-26.

Mounting |
When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be able to hold 10 times the weight without any deformation. When installing the unit must be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. and appropriate safety cable. Never stand directly below the unit when mounting, removing, or servicing the unit.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and unit. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
These installation should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
The Vizi Scan LED PRO is fully operational in three different mounting positions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling, side mounted, or set on a flat level surface. To avoid internal damage to the unit, never mount the unit on its side as illustrated above. Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.). Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails (see next page). Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.

Set Up |
Power Supply: The American DJ® Vizi Scan LED PRO contains a electronic ballast, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into the power source. With the electronic ballast you do not need to worry about wall voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.
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 fix- |
|
ture. 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 unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation): The Vizi Scan LED PRO can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Vizi Scan LED PRO can be either a 12 or 14 DMX Chan-
nel unit. The DMX address is set |
electronically using |
the controls on |
||||
the front panel |
of the unit. Your unit and |
your DMX |
|
|||
controller require a |
approved DMX-512 110 Ohm |
|
||||
Data cable for |
data |
input and |
data |
output. We |
|
|
recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If |
you are |
|
||||
making your own cables, be sure to use standard |
|
|||||
110-120 Ohm |
shielded cable (This cable |
may be |
|
|||
purchased at |
almost all professional sound and |
|
||||
lighting stores). Your cables should be |
made with |
|
||||
a male and female XLR connector on either end of |
Figure 1 |

the cable. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
Notice: Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your own cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.
|
Termination reduces signal errors and |
|
1 |
avoids signal transmission problems |
|

and interference. It is always advisable |
|

to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance |
|
|

and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture. |

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.
