ELAR EXQUADPAR HP Set Up
Power Supply: The Elation ELAR EXQUADPAR HP contains a automatic voltage switch, which will auto sense the voltage when it is
plugged into the power source. With this switch there is no need to
worry about the correct power voltage, this unit can be plugged in
anywhere.
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used 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. 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 Operation):
The ELAR EXQUADPAR HP can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol.
The ELAR EXQUADPAR HP has 8 DMX Modes. The DMX address is
set using the ELAR WR controller. Your unit and your DMX controller
require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data cable for data input and
data output. We highly recommend the ELAR 3C-1M or ELAR 3C-5M
DMX Cables. These cables can be used in dry, damp, or wet areas in
indoor or outdoor enviroments. The rubber neoprene outer jacket is
weather and ozone resistant making the cables suitable for outdoor
use. This cable may be purchased at almost all professional sound and
lighting stores. Remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and
cannot be split.
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 110-120 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

and interference. It is always advisable
2
to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance
120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-)
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-
512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX
xtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin data cables 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.
