ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,

according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.

Electrical installation for 1 standalone unit:

•Insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in the last selected mode.

•Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to switch between the different working modes.

Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:

•Connect several units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The unit that has no

cable connected to its DMX-input is the “master”, the others are the slave units.

•Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.

•Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP for more information.

•Done!

ENGLISH USER MANUAL

JB SYSTEMS®5/11 PIXEL PIPE

Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-mode:

•The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to

“daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected units with a good quality

balanced cable.

•To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use

a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this

simply won’t work!

•Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.

•Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper start address so it knows which commands from

the controller it has to decode. In the section HOW TO SETUP you will learn how to set the DMX

addresses. If for example you use the 3 channel DMX mode, a possible address setup could be: unit1 =

001 ~ unit2 = 004 ~ unit3 = 007 ~ unit4 = 010 ~ etc.
