CONTROL CONNECTIONS

4/16

Page 5

Connection between a LED StarBrite and a LED StarBrite Controller must be made with a special 5-pin signal connection cable with a length of 15 meters (connect any one of the OUT1~OUT4 to the 5-pin input port of the LED StarBrite driver box). And between the LED StarBrite Controllers or between the LED StarBrite Controller and the console, 3-pin XLR cables are used for co nnection (co nnect by DMX IN / DMX OU T port). In addition , 3- PIN socke t of the OUT5 port only provides signal output (without power supply), it applies for Master/Slave mode only .

The 5-pin signal connection cable and the 3-pin XLR cable are connected as shown in the figure above. Note: care should be taken to ensure that none of the pins touch the metallic body of the plug or each other. The body of the plug is not connected in any way. The product accepts digital control signals in protocol DMX512 (1990).

First of all, connect a LED StarBrite Controller and a LED StarBrite, and it can run in the stand-alone mode with 12 preset programs, according to the different applications, the Master/Slave mode and the DMX control mode can be selected.

In the Master/Slave mode, the master LED StarBrite Controller and the slave StarBrite Controller must be connected by a 3-pin XLR cable from the master LED St arBrite Controller’s OUT5 port to the first slave LED StarBrite Controller’s DMX IN port, then from the first slave LED StarBrite Controller’s OUT5 port to the second slave LED StarBrite Controller’s DMX IN port, and so on, until all the LED StarBrite Controllers are connected. Eventually set the menu of all the slave LED StarBrite Controllers to the “Slave” mode. At this time, Master/Slave mode is in effect.

In the DMX control mode, connections among the console and several LED StarBrite Controllers are similar with the control mode above. Use a 3-pin XLR cable to connect the DMX output port of the console to the first LED StarBrite Controller’s DMX IN port, then from the first LED StarBrite Controller’s DMX OUT port to the second LED StarBrite Controller’s DMX IN port, and so on , until all the LED StarBrite Controllers are connected, Eventua lly, connect the LED StarBrite Controller’s DMX OUT port to a DMX terminator (The address of any LED StarBrite Controller should be correctly configured, for details, see t he following sections). To make the DMX control mode valid, set the menu of the LED StarBrite Controller to the DMX CHANNEL .When the yellow indicator on the panel o f the LED S tarBrite Contro ller is on, DMX signal is OK.

Connections among the console and several LED StarBrite Controllers are shown in the figure below .

DMX TERMINA T OR

In the DMX control mode, for the last LE D S t arB rite Contro ller in the chai n, the DMX OUT port has to be connected wit h a DMX terminator. This prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connec tor with a 120Ω (ohm) resistor connected across pins 2 and 3 , which is then plugged into the output socke t on the last LED StarBrite Controller in the chain. The connections are illustrated below.

TO SET THE DMX START ADDRESS

When a console is used to control several LED StarBrite Controllers, so that to control more LED StarBrites, each LED StarBrite Controller must be given a DMX start address so that the correct L ED StarBrite Controller responds to the correct control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the LED StarBrite Controller starts to “listen” to the digital control information being sent out from the console. The product has 26 channels, so set the No. 1 LED StarBrite Controller’s address 001, No. 2 LED StarBrite Controller’s address 027, No. 3 LED StarBrite Controller’s address 053, No. 4 LED StarBrite Controller’s address 079, and so on.

Turn on the LED StarBrite Controller, you can find the address menu by pressing button FUNC , Then follow the configuration described in the“ SETUP OPTIONS-PRODUCT CONFIGURA TION” section.
