Mounting the Device
• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
norms.
• The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for 1 hour
without deforming.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a
qualified technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not
attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may
result in injuries.
• For truss mounting, use an appropriate clamp (not incl.) and fit an M10 bolt through the centre of the
(folded) bracket.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Do not connect it to a dimming pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
DMX-512 Connection
• When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and
the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input [7] of the VDP5001RGBLD5. Multiple VDP5001RGBLD5s
can be linked through serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR
input and output connectors.
• Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum recommended
number of fixtures on a serial data link is 32 fixtures.
• A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance
or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the
digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120Ω
resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket [8] of the last
device in the chain.
7. Operation
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
7.1 General
1. Make sure the laser projector is turned off. Insert the power plug into the power input [6] of the
laser projector. Insert the other end of the power cable into the mains.
2. To turn on the laser projector, use the on/off switch [4] and turn the safety key [5]. The power
LED [1] lights.
The VDP5001RGBLD5 can be used in the following modes:
• sound-controlled
• with a DMX512 controller.
7.2 Sound-Controlled Mode
1. Set all DIP switches [9] to the OFF position to enable sound-controlled mode.
2. Set the microphone [2] sensitivity with the sensitivity knob [3].
This mode allows you to control the fixture by any universal DMX controller.
• All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to
the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an
individual address can be set for every device.
• When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
• In case of the 5-channel VDP5001RGBLD5, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1~5), the second to 6 (1 + 5) (CH6~10), the third to 11 (6 + 5) (CH11~15), and so on.
•Use DIP switches [9] 1 – 9 to specify the DMX address:
Address DIP switches Switch Represents
