VDPLC010

• Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty and
the dealer will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.

• Mechanical wear is not covered by warranty.

• Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation: regular operation breaks will prolong their

lives.

4. Features

• 5-channel RGB DMX controller

• chase light feature: distribute the effect over (a multiple of) 3 or 4 RGB target devices

• four operation modes: blackout (all off), scene (static on with selectable colour), pattern (chase),

strobe (white 18Hz strobe)

• 9 chase patterns, combinable with 7 colour schemes

• pattern speed setting: manual or sound-controlled

• master output dimming level: 50 - 75 - 100%

• hard (switching) / soft (fading) transition in pattern mode

• handheld-sized road-proof metal case

• mains power adaptor included

• for: VDPLP64B2, VDPLP64B3, VDPLP64C2, VDPLP64C3

6. Installation

Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.

• Install the VDPLC010 in a dry location away from strong magnetic fields.

• Make sure the power switch [1] is off and plug the DC connector of the included mains adaptor into

the 12VDC input jack [2].

• Plug the DC adaptor into a suitable mains outlet.

• Connect an XLR cable to the DMX output connector [4] of the VDPLC010 and the other side to the

male XLR connector of a DMX-controllable light source (not incl.). When light sources with both in­and output XLR-type connectors are present, multiple light sources can be linked through serial
linking. The linking cable (not incl.) should be a dual core, screened cable.

DMX start address selection

• 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.

• You can use the same starting address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one 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 different addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate
channel number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.

• 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

VDPLC010

resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the last device in
the chain.

• Switch on and configure all connected light sources in slave mode. Refer to the user manuals of the
specific light sources for more details.

• Set the configuration switch [3] to mode 3 (towards DMX connector [4]) when using 3 or a multiple
of 3 light sources. Set the switch [3] to mode 4 (towards DC input [2]) when using 4 or a multiple
of 4 light sources. This way, the chase-pattern will be spread over 3 resp. 4 light sources.

7. Operation

• Move the power switch [1] to the ON-position (I).

• Use the push-buttons on the front of the VDPLC010 to set the desired output. 4 Modes are

available. Refer to the end of this paragraph for an overview of the default settings.

a) Blackout mode

• Press the BLACKOUT button [9] to instantly set all dim-levels of the connected light sources to 0%.
The LED under the button indicates that blackout mode is active.

• During blackout, all functions remain active, so it is possible to change the output signal settings.

• Press the BLACKOUT button [9] again to return to full signal output. When settings were changed

during blackout mode, changes will become active.

Note: blackout mode is the default mode when the controller is switched on.
b) Strobe mode

• Press the STROBE button [10] to activate strobe mode. The LED under the button indicates that
strobe mode is active.

• In strobe mode, all light sources will flash in white (colour C13) at a fixed rate of 16 flashes per
second. This mode overrides all other modes, except blackout mode. However, the settings of the
previous mode will be memorized.

Note: it is possible to use the dimmer in strobe mode. It will affect all light sources simultaneously.
c) Pattern mode

• In pattern mode, the controller will output a selectable pattern.

Note: when the LED under the MODE button [8] is on, the controller is in scene mode (see below). Press

the MODE button [8] once to go into pattern mode.

• Press the PATTERN button [7] to choose any of the 10 pre-programmed patterns.

• Press the COLOUR button [11] to choose any of the 8 available colours.

• Select the dimmer level (50 – 75 – 100%) using the DIMMER button [5].

• There are several ways to set the speed of the signal output:

o TAP:

Press the SPEED button [12] 4 times (max. 1 second between consecutive taps). This will set
the speed is set based on the average time between the taps. This can be useful to align the
pattern with a rhythm.

o SOUND-TO-LIGHT (S2L):

Press the SPEED button [12] once to let the music control the output speed. The LED on the
SPEED button [12] is on when this mode is selected.

o SLOW MODE:

Press the SPEED button [12] two times to set the speed to 3 seconds per step.

• The transition of the output signal can be set to hard (abrupt) or soft (fade) with the TRANSITION
button [6]. Soft transition speed is 50% of the set speed (see above), both for fade up and down. A
LED indicates the current selection.

d) Scene mode

• In scene mode, the controller produces a fixed colour output.

• Press the COLOUR button [11] to set the desired colour.

• Select the dimmer level (50 – 75 – 100%) using the DIMMER button [5].

Note: the TRANSITION button [6] and SPEED button [12] do not have an effect in scene mode.

However, they can already be set in anticipation of a switch over to pattern mode.
