DMX Control Mode

Operating in a DMX control mode environment gives the user the greatest exibility when it comes

to customising or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of

the xture and each xture independently.

Setting the DMX address

The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each xture requires a

“start address” from 1- 511. A xture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the

data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a xture that occupies or uses 7

channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from

channels: 100,101,102,103,104,105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used

do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.

Set the start address using the group of dip switches located usually on the back of the xture.

Each dipswitch has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will

provide the start address. Determining which switches to toggle ON given a specic start address

can be accomplished in the following manner. By subtracting the largest switch value possible

from the selected start address until zero is achieved.

EXAMPLE STARTING ADDRESS

Address 10

Pin NO: 4 = 8

Pin NO: 2 = 2

Total = 10

Address 24

Pin NO: 5 = 16

Pin NO: 4 = 8

Total = 24

DMX address using

simple maths

233 - (128 = 105,Turn on dip No: 8

105 - (64) = 41,Turn on dip No:7

41 - (32) = 9,Turn on dip No: 6

9 - (8) = 1,Turn on dip No: 4

1 - (1) = 0,Turn on dip No:1

You will most likely use the first available

number which maybe Number 1.This

Equinox Nebula Laser DMX control mode

DMX-512:

• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between

intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the

controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the

DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (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 xtures try to use the

shortest cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not

inuence the DMX addressing. For example; a xture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be

placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a

xture 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 Equinox laser can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back

of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data

input/output (gure 1).

Figure 1

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Equinox Nebula Laser DMX set up

Further DMX cables can be purchased

from all good sound and lighting suppliers

or Prolight dealers.

Please quote:

CABL10 – 2M

CABL11 – 5M

CABL12 – 10M

Notice:

• Be sure to follow gures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. Do not connect 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 behaviour.

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 behaviour.

Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90) will decrease the possibilities of erratic

behaviour.

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 standard 5-pin

XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The Chart below details the

correct cable conversion.

Termination reduces signal transmission problems

and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a

DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between

pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.

Class 3B Laser Safety Guide

Warning

Class 3B Lasers have the potential to harm eyesight if viewed directly and can also be

harmful at long distances.

Any unit that contains a laser diode has to be classied depending upon the light output that

someone may be exposed to. All laser products are classed as dened in the

Laser Product Safety Standard (BS/EN 60825.1). The classes range from the safest, which is

Class 1, through to the most hazardous, which is Class 4. A laser diode that emits more than 5mW

of light and less than 500mW can be classied as a Class 3B product.

Operation and installation Notes

Laser effects should only be installed and operated by persons who have been trained in how to

operate laser effects safely.

Laser effects should be located in a safe and secure position in the venue, so that once installed it

cannot be tampered with by unauthorized users.

Before operation the path of the laser beams should be taken into account in respect to how the

beams will scan the viewing audience.

If direct audience scanning is to be used then the laser energy levels from the effects needs to be

calculated.

Health

If used responsibly and in accordance with the relevant guidance issued by the Health and Safety

Executive a laser effect will not present a hazard to those viewing the show as long as the laser

beams are projected over the heads of the viewing audience. When laser effects are directed into

the audience area it becomes difcult to tell if the effects are causing harm.

Class 3B laser beams can be harmful to eyesight if viewed directly The injury that a Class 3B

laser can inict is dependant upon several varients, including the amount of time the laser beam

enters the eye for, the intensity of beam and what part of the eye that actually receives the beam.

The part of the eye which is most susceptible to receive damage from the beam is the retina. The

retina is the part of the eye that receives the light signals that are sent to brain. All light entering

the eye gets focused onto the retina.

Normal light sources including halogen lamps are not usually harmful to view. Lasers are different

in the fact that they can get the beam focused down to a very small point on the retina which can

burn holes on the back wall of the eye. There are no pain receptors on the retina and the damage

can happen in less time than it takes for a person to blink so the person will be not be aware of

any damage taking place. Damage to the retina cannot be repaired and therefore is permanent.

Symptoms include severe loss of sight and unnoticeable vision loss.
