Contour Installation

The Contour carries a 2 year (730 Days) limited warranty. Please fill out the enclosed warranty card to

validate your purchase. All returned service items whether under warranty or not, must be freight pre-

paid and accompany a return authorization (R.A.) number. The R.A. number must be clearly written

on the outside of the return package. A brief description of the problem as well as the R.A. number

must also be written down on a piece of paper included in the shipping carton. If the unit is under

warranty, you must provide a copy of your proof of purchase invoice. You may obtain a R.A. number

by contacting our customer support team on our customer support number. All packages returned to

the service department not displaying a R.A. number on the outside of the package will be returned to

the shipper.

Fixtures should be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided), axing it to the mounting

bracket that is provided with the unit. Always ensure that the xture is rmly xed to avoid vibration

and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit is

secure and is able to support a weight of 10 times the unit’s weight. Also, always use a safety cable

that can hold 12 times the weight of the unit when installing the xture. The equipment must be

installed by a professional, and it must be installed in a place where it is out of the reach of people’s

grasp.

Contour DMX Set Up

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of communication

between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the

controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA

“IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA

“OUT” terminal).

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of dierent 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 fixtures try to use

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

influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned 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 fixture 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 Contour can

be controlled via DMX-512 protocol and has 3 DMX channel modes. The DMX

address is set on the rear panel. The Contour requires a standard 3-pin XLR connector

for data input and data output (Figure 1), which are included on the included DMX

cables. If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm

shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all pro lighting stores). Your

cables should be made with a male and female XLR connector on either end of

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

split. Figure 1

Notice: Be sure to follow gures 2 and 3 below when making your own cables. Do not use the ground

lug on the XLR connector. 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 behavior.

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 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor

which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is

inserted in the female XLR connector 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 behavior.

Some manufactures use 5pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA

inserting standard 5pin data cable in to a 3pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are

readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

Contour DMX Addressing

All xtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct xture

responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which

the xture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment

of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control

display on the xture.

You can set the same starting address for all xtures or a group of xtures, or set dierent addresses

for each individual xture. Setting all xtures to the same DMX address will cause all xtures to react

in the same way, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will aect all the xtures

simultaneously.

If you set each xture to a dierent DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number

you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each xture. That means changing the settings

of one channel will only aect the selected xture.

In the case of the Contour, when in 3 Channel you should set the starting DMX address of the rst unit

to 1, the second unit to 4 (3 + 1), the third unit to 7 (4 + 3), and so on. (See chart below for more de-

tails.)
