ELED Fresnel Set Up

Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source volt-

age in your area matches the required voltage for your Elation® ELED

Fresnel™. The ELED Fresnel™ voltage is between 100v ~ 240v. Be

sure to only use the included I.E.C. power cable supplied with the unit,

this cable matches the current requirements of the unit.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-

tocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures

and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from

the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that trav-

els from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR ter-

minals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA

“OUT” terminal).

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of

different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single

controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant.

To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX

fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which

fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX ad-

dressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be

placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or any-

where in the middle. When a fixture 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.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation):

The ELED Fresnel™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The ELED

Fresnel™ can be a two, three, four, six, seven or 11 channel DMX unit.

The DMX address is set on the back panel of the ELED Fresnel™. Your

unit and your DMX controller require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm

Data cable for data input and data output (Figure 1). We recommend

Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are making your

own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120

Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be pur-

chased at almost all professional sound and

lighting stores). Your cables should be made with

a male and female XLR connector on either end

of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable must

be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Figure 1

Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own

cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-

nect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield

conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding

the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

Special Note: Line Termination.

When longer runs of cable are

used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic

behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-

nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and

DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last

unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator

(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic

behavior.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.

Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR

connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR xtures

may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting stan-

dard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be

used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The

chart below details a proper cable conversion.
