Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source voltage in your area matches the voltage

required for your every suit. Every unit is available in 100v and 240v version. Because line voltage may

vary from venue to venue, you should be sure your unit voltage matches the wall outlet voltage before

attempting to operate you unit.

DMX Linking: To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX units try to use the

shortest cable path possible. The order in which units are connected in a DMX line does not influence the

DMX addressing. For example; a unit assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX

line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a unit is assigned a DMX address of 1,

the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located

in the DMX chain.
