1. Rig the top bar. For more information see Rigging.
2. Attach each of the standard orb strings directly to the top bar using the female connector ends of the orb strings.
3. Attach each of the bottom orb strings to the standard orb strings using the male connector of the standard orb strings and female connector of the bottom orb strings.
4. Make sure all the connections are finger tight.
5. Turn on the power.
• Standard orb strings will not work on their own! The bottom orb strings must be
connected in order for the product to function!
• The bottom orb strings—the ones with the loops—are always at the bottom of the
MotionOrb.
• Each strand must be at least 2 meters (at least one standard orb string, ending in a
bottom orb string).

DMX Linking

DMX linking is daisy chaining more than one MotionOrb, through the DMX In and Out ports.
The MotionOrb has two modes that require DMX linking:
• Master/Slave mode, in which the master MotionOrb sends DMX signals to the MotionOrb slaves
• DMX mode, in which the DMX controller sends DMX signals to the MotionOrb
To DMX link MotionOrb products do the following:
1. Connect the male end of the DMX cable to the DMX Out port of the master MotionOrb, or
the DMX controller.
2. Connect the female end of the DMX cable to the DMX In port of the next MotionOrb.
3. Connect the male end of another DMX cable to the DMX Out port of the MotionOrb in step
2.
4. Connect the female end of the DMX cable into the next MotionOrb.
5. Continue connecting each other MotionOrb until they are all part of the chain.
• When DMX linking MotionOrb products for Master/Slave mode, the master is the first MotionOrb in the chain and there is no DMX controller. See Master/Slave
Configuration for details.
• When DMX linking MotionOrb products for DMX mode, the DMX controller is the first thing in the line.
• Never connect more than 32 MotionOrb products together on a single DMX chain.

The master and slaves are daisy chained though the D MX In and Out ports with the m aster the beginning of the chain. For more information see DMX Linking above.
The MotionOrb pro ducts have three diff erent Master/ Slave modes in which t hey operate or in groups of 2, or in groups of 3.
• When configured singly there is one master and any number of slaves duplicating the
master.
• When configured in groups of 2 there is 1 master plus 1 slave for a group of 2. Then there
are any number of groups of slaves, with the 1st in the group duplicating the master and the 2nd in the group duplicating the slave.
• When configured in groups of 3 there is 1 master plus 2 slaves for a group of 3. Then there
are any number of groups of slaves, with the 1st in the group duplicating the master, the 2nd in the group duplicating the 1st slave, and the 3rd in the group duplicating the 2nd slave.
