TVL3000WW/TVL3000CW Set Up
Power Supply: The Elation Professionals® TVL3000WW &
TVL3000CW contain an 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. Also be sure to only use the included
I.E.C. power cable supplied with 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).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of
dierent manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX com-
pliant. 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 and Master/Slave
Operation): The TVL3000WW & TVL3000CW have 1 DMX channel.
The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the rear 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 con-
nector on either end of the cable. Also remember
that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
Figure 1
Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your
own cables. Do not use the ground post 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.
