If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, DO NOT install the
device.
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10
times the device's weight.
Master/Slave-operation
-
The master/slave-operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and
controlled by one Master device unit
- On the rear panel of the PROMOVER 575 you can find an XLR-jack (DMX Out) and an XLR-
plug (DMX In), which can be used for connecting several devices.
- Choose the device that is to control the effects. This device then works as master-device
and controls all other slave-devices, which are to be connected to the master-device via a
balanced microphone lead.
- Connect the DMX OUT-jack with the DMX IN-plug of the next device.
- Set the desired Master-mode for the master-device.
- Set the respective Slave-mode for all slave-devices.
DANGER OF FIRE!
- When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inflammable material (decoration
articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 0.5 m.
- Mount the device to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp. For overhead use,
always install a safety-rope / chain that can hold at least 12 times the weight of the fixture.
You must only use safety-ropes with quick link with screw cap. Pull the safety-rope through
the attachment eyelet and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in
the quick link and tighten the safety screw.
- The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.
A safety rope / chain which already held the strain of a crash or which is defective must not
be used again.
- Adjust the desired inclination-angle via the mounting-bracket and tighten the fixation
screws.
DANGER TO LIFE!
Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an
expert.
- Connection with the mains
- Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
- DMX-512 connection / connection between fixtures
- The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise the fixtures will not work
at all, or will not work properly.
- Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect
the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
-If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the
controller directly with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to
connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs (5-pin), you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
-
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the
next fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are
connected.
