6.3 Remote control with the LC-3
The remote control LC-3 available as an accessory
allows to control various functions. There must be no
DMX signal at the DMX INPUT (10).
1) Connect the remote control to the jack REMOTE
CTRL ONLY (8).
2) Via the DMX OUTPUT (9), further PARL-1DMX
units may be connected (
chapter 6.2) in order to
control them together with the master unit via the
remote control.
3) With button STAND BY (13), the LEDs of the PARL-
1DMX can be switched on or off. When the LEDs
are switched off, the LED next to button STAND BY
will light up as a check.
4) Use button MODE (15) to select the desired func-
tion:
Stroboscope
– The LED of button MODE does not light up –
By keeping button FUNCTION (14) pressed, one
of the three stroboscope functions may be acti-
vated:
1. Stroboscopic salvos with white light, music-
controlled*
2. Individual flash in changing colour, music-con-
trolled*
3.
Stroboscopic salvos in changing colour,
music-controlled*
By keeping button FUNCTION pressed again,
the next stroboscopic function is activated in
each case.
* The music control must be switched on
(
chapter 6.1.1, step 5).

Operation via a Light Controller
For operation via a light controller with DMX512 proto-
col (e. g. DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB by “img Stage
Line”), the spotlight is equipped with four DMX control
channels. The functions of the channels and the DMX
values can be found in chapter 10.1.
7.1 DMX connection
For the DMX connection, the unit is provided with 3-pole
XLR jacks of the following pin configuration:
Pin 1 = ground, 2 = DMX-, 3 = DMX+
For connection, special cables for high data flow should
be used. Standard microphone cables with screening
and a minimum cross section of 2 × 0.22 mm
2
and with
a capacity as low as possible can only be recom-
mended for a total cable length of up to 100 m. For cable
lengths exceeding 150 m it is recommended to insert a
DMX level matching amplifier (e. g. SR-103DMX by
“img Stage Line”).
1) Connect the DMX INPUT (10) to the DMX output of
the light controller.
2) Connect the DMX OUTPUT (9) to the DMX input of
the following light effect unit; connect its output
again to the input of the following unit, etc. until all
DMX-controlled units have been connected in a
chain.
3) Terminate the DMX output of the last DMX unit in
the chain with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W): Solder the
resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of an XLR plug and con-
nect the plug to the DMX output or use a corre-
sponding terminating plug (e. g. DLT-123 by “img
Stage Line”).
7.2 Adjusting the DMX mode
DMX channel 4 can be configured in different ways.
The options are indicated in chapter 10.1. Select the
desired DMX mode accordingly:
1) Press button MENU (5) so many times until the dis-
play (3) shows
. Make sure that the next but-
ton is pressed within 15 seconds, otherwise the
adjusting process will end.
2) Press button ENTER. The adjusted mode is shown
(

3) Use button DOWN or UP to adjust the DMX mode
and memorize it with button ENTER.
