Only use a DMX-cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture
or one fixture with another.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly
with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other
XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution:
At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120
resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Addressing
Each projector occupies 3 channels. To ensure that the control signals are properly directed to each
projector, the projector requires adressing. This is to be done for every single projector by changing the DIP
switches as set out in this table.
The starting address is defined as the first channel from which the TC-250 will respond to the controller. If
you set, for example, the address to channel 4, the TC-250 will use the channel 4 to 6 for control.
Please make sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each TC-250 correctly
and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more TC-250 are addressed
similarly, they will work similarly.
Occupation of the DIP-switches:
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:
