3. SETUP Before replacing a fuse, disconnect the power cord. ALWAYS replace with the same type and rating of fuse. Fuse Replacement With a flat head screwdriver, wedge the fuse holder out of its housing. Remove the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with exact same type fuse. Connecting A Bunch of Mikrokassette's You will need a serial data link to run light shows using a DMX-512 controller or to run shows on two or more fixtures set to sync in master/slave operating mode.
Cable Connectors Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end. (Duh!) INPUT 2 A Word on Termination: OUTPUT 1 3 DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and therefore best practices include use of a terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems with erratic fixture behavior, especially over long signal cable runs, a terminator may help improve performance.
Fixture Linking (M/S Mode) 1. Connect the male connector side of the DMX cable to the output female connector of the first fixture. First Fixture in Chain DMX IN DMX OUT Next Fixture in Chain DMX IN DMX OUT 2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a female connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a male connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
