5. Setup

Warnings and Precautions

Attention
Connect all data cables before supplying power.
Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.

Stand-alone Setup

When the Performer Profile Zoom 150 Q6 is not connected to a controller or to other devices, it functions
as a stand-alone device.

For more information about the control modes, refer to 6.2. Control Modes on page 20.

DMX Connection

DMX-512 Protocol

You need a DMX serial data link to run light shows of one or more devices using a DMX-512 controller or
to run synchronized shows of two or more devices set in a master/slave control mode.

The Performer Profile Zoom 150 Q6 has 5-pin DMX signal IN and OUT connectors.

The pin assignment is as follows: pin 1 (ground), pin 2 (-), pin 3 (+), pin 4 (N/C), pin 5 (N/C).

Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. The number of devices that you can
control on one data link is limited by the combined number of the DMX channels of the connected
devices and the 512 channels available in one DMX universe.

To comply with the TIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link.
In order to connect more than 32 devices on one data link, you must use a DMX optically isolated
splitter/booster, otherwise this may result in deterioration of the DMX signal.

Note:

● Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 300 m

● Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 32 devices

18

Performer Profile Zoom 150 Q6
Product code: 33059

DMX Cables

Shielded twisted-pair cables with 3-pin XLR connectors must be used for reliable DMX connection. You
can purchase DMX cables directly from your Highlite International dealer or make your own cables.

If you use XLR audio cables for DMX data transmission, this may lead to signal degradation and unreliable
operation of the DMX network.

When you make your own DMX cables, make sure that you connect the pins and wires correctly as
shown in Fig. 07.

Fig. 07

Master/Slave Setup

The Performer Profile Zoom 150 Q6 supports master/slave control mode. To connect multiple devices in a
master/slave setup, follow the steps below:

01) Connect the first device’s DMX OUT connector to the second device’s DMX IN connector.

02) Repeat step 1 to connect all devices as shown in Fig. 08.

03) Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device in the setup.

04) Set the first device on the data link as a master device. See 6.6.3. Run Mode on page 25 for more

information.

05) Set the remaining devices to slave mode. See 6.6.3. Run Mode on page 25 for more information.

01) Set the starting address of the 1

st

device on the data link to 1 (001).

02) Set the starting address of the 2

nd

device on the data link to 21 (021), as 1 + 20 = 21.

03) Set the starting address of the 3

rd

device on the data link to 41 (041), as 21 + 20 = 41.

04) Continue assigning the starting addresses of the remaining devices by adding each time 20 to the

previous number.

Make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control the Performer Profile Zoom
150 Q6 correctly. If two or more devices are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

02) Allow the device to cool down for at least 15 minutes.

Remove the dust collected on the external surface with dry compressed air and a soft brush.
