Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in for charging, be sure the

source voltage in your area matches the required voltage for your Ela­tion Professionals® Event Cylinder DMX. 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 power adaptor 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).

The Event Cylinder DMX has 4 DMX channel modes; 1 Channel Mode,
3 Channel Mode, 4 Channel Mode, & 6 Channel Mode. The DMX

address is set electronically using the controls on the top panel of the
unit.
