Waterfall™ DMX Traits
The Waterfall™ uses one DMX channel. The
chart to the right details the DMX traits. The
color scroll option will increase in speed as the
DMX value progresses from 144 to 255.
Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in be sure the source volt-
age in your area matches the required voltage for your Elation
®
Water-
fall.™ The Elation
®
Waterfall ™ is available in a 115v and 230v version.
Line voltage may vary from venue to venue. Be sure to plug your unit
into a matching wall outlet before attempting to operate.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation
Only and Master-Slave): The Waterfall can be controlled via
DMX-512 protocol. The Elation
®
Waterfall™ is a single channel DMX
unit. The DMX address is set on the rear panel of the Waterfall. Your unit
and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin
XLR connector for data input and data output
(Figure 1). If you are making your own cables,
be sure to use standard two conductor shielded
cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all
pro sound and 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 can not be
split.
Notice: Be sure to follow figure three 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.

Termination reduces signal errors and
avoids signal transmission problems
and interference. It is always advisable
to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance
120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-)
and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.
