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 90-120 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 socket 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 behav-

ior.

Termination reduces signal errors and

avoids signal transmission problems

and interference. 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.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.

Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR

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

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.

Protron Star™ Operating Instructions

Power Supply: This unit is available only in 120v. Before plugging

your unit in be sure the source voltage in your area matches the

required voltage for your Elation

® Protron Star.™

General Operation: This fixture is designed to operate as a stand

alone, sound-active unit, or in a Master/Slave configuration. It can

also operate via DMX controller. The Protron Star™ is ready to be

plugged in out of the box.

Duty Cycle:

Because the Protron Star™ can be used for continuous output (ie

while simulating lightning), it can build up intense heat. Due to the

build up of intense heat the unit should not run for 15 minutes con

tinuously. After 15 minutes of continuous use, allow the unit to cool

for about fifteen minutes, this will greatly increase the lamp life and

insure product longevity.

Operating Modes:

Stand Alone:

In stand alone the unit will function as a normal strobe light. Rate

(speed), intensity (brightness), and duration (length between flashes)

are set directly on the unit. Note that these settings are made using

the dipswitches on the back of the unit. Once the settings are made

they can only be changed by physically adjusting the dipswitches on

the unit. Be aware of this if you plan on installing your strobe in a per

manent application, if your are not satisfied with your settings you will

have to physically remove the unit and adjust the dipswitches. Please

see the dipswitch traits below. “Flip” the dipswitches to the “on” pos

tion to activate

Dipswitch Traits (Manual Mode):

To activate manual mode you must have dipswitch #9 in the “on”

postion.

1. Dipswitches 1-3 control the speed of the strobe. Dipswitch #1

being the slowest strobe, and dipswitch #3 being the fastest

strobe.

2. Dipswitches 4-6 control the brightness of the strobe. Dipswitch #4

being the dimmest, dipswitch #6 being the brightest.

3. Dipswitches 7-8 control the duration of the strobe. Dipswitch #7

the longest duration between strobes, and dipswitch #8 the short-

est duration between strobes.
