Wiring for Master/Slave mode
In Master/Slave mode, up to 16 Autark units can be linked whereat the
first unit serves as the master and all following units work as slaves. The
slave units receive their control messages from the master.
Proceed as follows:
1) Connect a XLR cable (not supplied) to the
DMX OUT socket on
the rear panel of the master unit.
2) Connect the other (male) plug of the cable to the
DMX IN
socket of the first slave device.
3) Connect additional slave units according to this pattern (Slave
DMX Out to Slave DMX In).
Next, you must set the devices to Master/Slave mode via their menus.
The operation in the menu is described from page 7.
Wiring in
DMX mode
Using a
DMX capable controller, you can control Autark ID07 over 1,
2, 6 or 9 channels in
DMX mode. For wired control, proceed as follows:
1) Connect a standard high quality XLR audio cable (not supplied)
to the DMX out socket of the controller.
NOTE: A suitable XLR audio cable connects the two signal leads
to
PIN 2 and 3, while ground is soldered to PIN 1. Please make
sure that the wiring doesn‘t change within the cables: a polarity
error or short circuit between the Pins will at least impair or completely stop the control functionality.
2) Connect the other (male) plug of the cable to the
DMX IN
socket of the first Autark unit.
3) Connect additional Autark units according to this pattern (Slave
DMX OUT to Slave DMX IN).
Next, you must enter an individual
DMX address for each Autark unit
via its menu. The operation in the menu is described from page 7.
Wireless control via DMX
Autark ID07 incorporates a DMX receiver that can receive and
implement control signals from a suitable
DMX transmitter. For remo-
te control via
DMX, proceed as follows:
1) Connect a XLR audio cable (not supplied) to the DMX out socket
of the controller.
2) Connect the other (male) plug of the cable to the DMX in socket
of an optional DMX transmitter (e. g. Nowsonic WRX-1).
3) Unfold the antenna of Autark ID07 to improve the reception
quality and activate the
WIRELESS SWITCH: The LED display
should now switch from Addr to A001.
4) Now you must enter an individual DMX address for the Autark
unit via the menu. The operation in the menu is described from
page 7.
5) Finally, press the button at the external DMX transmitter for
establishing and setting up the connection.
