4.Installation

4.1.Connection to the mains

The LedBlinder 196 is equipped with auto-switching power supply that automatically adjusts to any 50/60 Hz
AC power source from 100-240 volts.
Connect the LedBlinder 196 to the mains with the power cord.
If the plug on the exible cord is not the right type for your socket outlets,do not use an adaptor,but remove the
plug from the cord and discard.Carefully prepare the end of the the supply cord and t a suitable plug.
The earth has to be connected!

4.2 DMX-512 connection/connection between xtures

The xture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.The sockets are wired
in parallel.
Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in
order to connect the controller with the xture or one xture with another.

DMX - output DMX-input

XLR mounting-sockets (rear view): XLR mounting-plugs (rear view):

If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with
the DMX input of the rst xture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-out­puts, you need to use adapter-cables.

Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the rst xture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next xture. Always
connect one output with the input of the next xture until all xtures are connected.

Caution: At the last xture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last xture.

Building a master/slave-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the master xture in the data-chain with the DMX-input of the rst slave. Always
connect output with the input of the next slave until all slaves are connected (up to 9 xtures).
Caution:It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) into the input of the master xture
and into the output of the last slave xture in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.
