5-PIN AND 3-PIN CONVERSION
MOON 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 in the figure.
SETTING UNIT’ S START ADDRESS
Each MOON must be given a DMX start address so that the correct projector responds to the correct
control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the projector starts to
“listen” to the digital control information being sent out from the controller. The MOON has 7 channels,
so set the No. 1 projector’
s address 001, No. 2 projector’ s address 008, No. 3 projector’ s address
015, No. 4 projector’ s address 022, and so on.
Certainly, you may use formulation: address=channels x (projector No –1) +1
For example, for the No. 4 projector’
s start address, you should calculate according to formulation: 7
x (4 – 1) +1 = 22, So you set the No. 4 projector start address 022.
(How to set start address please refer “Operation” section)
