5.1. Warnings and Precautions

DANGER

Electric shock caused by short-circuit

This device is IP65 rated.

• Do not expose the device to conditions that exceed the rated IP class conditions.•

• Keep the connectors sealed with the rubber caps when the connectors are not in use.•

• Do not connect the cables from above the connectors, if the device is installed outdoors. Make a ‘drip•

loop’ in the cable so that rain water cannot enter the device.

• Make sure that the cable run is not too heavy. A heavy cable run can cause damage to the connectors. If•

the connectors are damaged, their ingress protection (IP) can deteriorate.

Attention

Connect all data cables before supplying power.

Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.

5.2.

Stand-alone Setup

When the Controller for Titan Strobe FLEX FX is not connected to a DMX controller or to other devices, it

functions as a stand-alone device. It can be operated manually via the control panel or in auto mode.

For more information refer to Control Modes (see 6.2. Control Modes on page 23).

5.3.

DMX Connection

5.3.1.

DMX-512 Protocol

You need a DMX serial data link to run light shows of one or more devices using a DMX-512 controller.

The Controller for Titan Strobe FLEX FX has 5-pin DMX signal IN and OUT connectors.

The pin assignment is as follows: pin 1 (ground), pin 2 (-), pin 3 (+), pin 4 (N/C), pin 5 (N/C).

Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. The number of devices that you can control

on one data link is limited by the combined number of the DMX channels of the connected devices and the

512 channels available in one DMX universe.

To comply with the TIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. Inorder

to connect more than 32 devices on one data link, you must use a DMX optically isolated splitter/booster,

otherwise this may result in deterioration of the DMX signal.

Note:

•

Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 300 m

•

Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 32 devices

•

5.3.2. DMX Cables

Shielded twisted-pair cables with 5-pin XLR connectors must be used for reliable DMX connection. You can

purchase DMX cables directly from your Highlite International dealer or make your own cables.

If you use XLR audio cables for DMX data transmission, this may lead to signal degradation and unreliable

operation of the DMX network.

When you make your own DMX cables, make sure that you connect the pins and wires correctly as shown in

the figure below.
