5. APPENDIX

DMX Primer

There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be as signed in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX will require one or a number of s equential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controll er. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start addres s should be pl anned in advance. Channels should never overlap. If they do, this will result in errati c operation of the fixtures whose st arting addres s is set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together and all respond e xactly the same.
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data t hrough a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain c onnection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling. Connect fixtures using shielded two conduct or t wis ted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).

General Maintenance

To maintain optimum performance and mi nimize wear, fi xtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage a nd environm ent are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a m onth. Dust build up reduces light output performance and c an cause overheating. This can lead to reduc ed lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance.
1. Unplug fixture from power.
2. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collected on external vents.
3. Clean all glass when the fixture is at room temperature with a mild solution of glass cleaner or
Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue.
4. Apply solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens.
5. Gently polish optical surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
The cleaning of external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodic ally to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which t he fixture operates. Damp, sm oky or particularly dirty surroundings c an cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit ’s optics. Clean with soft clot h using normal glass cleaning fluid. Clean t he external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the fixture at least every 30/60 days.
Always dry the parts carefully after cleaning them.
5. Appendix 13

Fixture Linking

You will need a serial data link t o run light shows of one or more f ixtures using a DMX controller or to run s ynchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support.
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the EIA­485 standard, no more than 32 fixtures should be connected on one data link. Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 m (1640 ft) Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32

Data Cabling

To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase Chauvet certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. I f you choose to c reate your own cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.

DMX Data Cable

Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485 applications. Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distanc es. The cable must have the following characteristics:
Type: shielded, 2-conductor twisted pair Maximum capacitance between conductors: 30 pF/ft Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield: 55 pF/ft Maximum resistance: 20 ohms/1000 ft Nominal impedance: 100 ~ 140 ohms

Cable Connectors

Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.
DMX connector configuration
COMMON
INPUT OUTPUT
Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform errati cally. Test cables with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.

If you use a controller with a 5-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter. The chart below details a proper cable conversion:

Setting up a DMX Serial Data Link

1. Connect the (male) 3-pin connector side of
the DMX cable to the output (female) 3-pin connector of the controller.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from
the controller which will have a (female) 3-pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3-pin connector.
3. Then, proceed to connect from the output
as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
Universal DMX Controller

5. Appendix 15

Setting the Starting Address

This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a start address from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels f or control begins to read the dat a on the channel indicat ed by the start address. For example, a fixture that uses six DMX channels and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. Choos e start address es so that the c hannels used do not overlap, and note the start address selected for future reference.
If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX control protocol, go to t he Appendix secti on, and read the DMX Primer from the Chauvet website www.chauvetlighting.com. It contains very useful information that will help you understand its use.
