5. Setup
Warnings and Precautions
DANGER
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Attention
Connect all data cables before supplying power.
Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.
Stand-alone Setup
When the Shark Spot Two is not connected to a controller or to other devices, it functions as a standalone device.
For more information about the control modes, refer to 6.2. Control Modes on page 19.
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 Shark Spot Two has 3-pin DMX signal IN and OUT connectors.
The pin assignment is as follows:
● 3-pin: pin 1 (ground), pin 2 (-), pin 3 (+)
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
17
Shark Spot Two
Product code: 45030
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 3-pin 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. 11.
Fig. 11
Master/Slave Setup
The Shark Spot Two supports master/slave control mode. To connect multiple devices in a master/slave
setup, follow the steps below:
Connect the first device’s DMX OUT connector to the second device’s DMX IN connector with a
3-pin DMX cable. The first connected device in the setup will be automatically recognized as the
master device.
Repeat step 1 to connect all devices as shown in Fig. 12.
Set all subsequent devices in the setup as slave devices. See 6.6.3 Run Mode on page 23 for more
information.
Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device in the setup.
Fig. 12
18
Shark Spot Two
Product code: 45030
DMX Linking
To connect multiple devices on one DMX data link, follow the steps below:
01) Use a 3-pin DMX cable to connect the DMX OUT connector of the lighting controller to the DMX IN
connector of the first device.
02) Connect the first device’s DMX OUT connector to the second device’s DMX IN connector with a
3-pin DMX cable.
03) Repeat step 2 to connect all devices in a daisy-chain as shown in Fig. 13.

link.
Fig. 13
DMX Addressing
In a setup with multiple devices, make sure that you set the DMX starting address of each device
correctly. The Shark Spot Two has 2 personalities: 8 channels and 15 channels.
If you want to connect multiple devices on one data link and use them in 15-channel mode, for
example, follow the steps below:
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 16, as 1 + 15 = 16.
03) Set the starting address of the 3
rd
device on the data link to 31, as 16 + 15 = 31.
04) Continue assigning the starting addresses of the remaining devices by adding each time 15 to the
previous number.
Make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control the Shark Spot Two
correctly. If two or more devices are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

Disconnect the device from the electrical power supply.
Allow the device to cool down for at least 5 minutes.
03) Remove the dust collected on the external surface with dry compressed air and a soft brush.
04) Clean the lens with a damp cloth. Use a mild detergent solution.
05) Dry the lens carefully with a lint-free cloth.
06) Clean the DMX and other connections with a damp cloth.
