l i g h t i n g strongly recommended. The use of a thermal magnetic circuit breaker is recommended for each A.R.C.. A good earth connection is essential for the correct operation of the projector. The unit operates using a digital DMX 512 (1990) signal. Connection between the control box and the projector or between projectors must be carried out using a two pair screened ø0.5 mm cable. Connect the control box signal to the DMX IN internal connector clamp (found at the base of the unit) and connect it to the next projector by connecting the DMX OUT connector clamp on the first projector to the DMX IN connector clamp on the second. In this way, all the projectors are cascade connected. 6.1 -Protection: 7- DMX SIGNAL CONNECTION NB. If the letters A001 flash on the display the possible causes are: - No DMX signal - The DMX address not valid - There is a DMX reception problem - The number of channels sent out by the mixer is inferior to 24 If the letters A001 appear on the display without flashing the DMX signal is being received and is valid. 8 A.R.C.
