5-PIN AND 3-PIN CONVERSION
MANTIS uses 3-pin XLR plug / socket. If your controller uses 5-pin XLR plug / socket, you should
convert 5-pin plug / socket into 3-pin socket / plug as shown below.
DMX TERMINATOR
In the Controller mode or Master/Slave mode, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX
terminator at the last fixture in the chain. This prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting
the DMX control signals.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120
Ω
(ohm) resistor connected across pins 2
and 3, which is then plugged into the output socket on the last projector in the chain. The connections
are illustrated below.
Without connecting a controller with the projector, the projector will run in Stand-Alone mode controlled
by sound or auto programmes via setting the DIP switch as shown below.
While sound controlling, the projector will change the colours/gobos according to the rhythm of the
music.
