TVL3000-II WW/CW/DW Set Up

Power Supply: The Elation Professionals® TVL3000-II WW,

TVL3000-II CW, and TVL3000-II DW 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

dierent 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-II & TVL3000CW-II have 1 DMX chan-

nel, while the TVL3000-II DW has 2 DMX Channel Modes. The DMX
address is set electronically using the controls on
the rear of the unit. Your unit and your DMX con-

troller require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data

cable for data input and data output. We recom-

mend 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 connector on either end of the cable. Also remember

Figure 1

that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

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.

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.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.

Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR

connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR xtures

may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting stan­dard 5-pin XLR connectors 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.
