and choke! Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside. Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or damaged.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord). Do not modify the mains cable. Failure to do so could result
in electric shock/death or re. If in doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.
NOTICE!
Risk of re

NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid
direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations.
NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC
outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure
the user. Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of
electric shock or re.
NOTICE!

4 Installation
Unpack and carefully check that there is no transportation damage before using the
unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the device against vibration,
dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or
your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.
Create all connections while the device is o. Use the shortest possible high-quality
cables for all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping
hazards.

LED Stripe All-in-One Control 9
DMX Controller
5 Starting up
Establish all connections as long as the unit is switched o. Use the shortest possible
high-quality cables for all connections.
Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or
another DMX device. Connect the output of the rst DMX device to the input of the
second one, and so on to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the
last DMX device in the daisy chain is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼ W).
If a DMX connection is established, the ‘DMX’ LED lights up.
When you congure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the rst unit will con‐
trol the other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This func‐
tion is ideal when you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of
the master device to the DMX input of the rst slave device. Then connect the DMX
output of the rst slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device and so
on.

9 Plug and connection assignments
This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable
equipment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed.
Please take our tips, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if
a plug ts into a socket, the result of an incorrect connection may be a destroyed
DMX controller, a short circuit or ‘just’ a not working light show!
The unit oers a 3-pin XLR socket for DMX output and a 3-pin XLR plug for DMX
input. Please refer to the drawing and table below for the pin assignment of a suit‐
able XLR plug.

10 Troubleshooting
NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors
For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not
use ordinary microphone cables.
Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers
or ampliers.
In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation.
We give you some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
Symptom Remedy
The unit does not work, no
light, the fan does not run
Check the mains power connection and the main
fuse.
No response to the DMX con‐
troller
1. The DMX indicator should light up. If it doesn't,
check DMX connectors and cables for proper con‐
nection.
2. If the DMX indicator lights up but with no
response, check the address settings and DMX
polarity.
3. Try using another DMX controller.
4. Check whether the DMX cables lie near or adja‐
cent to high voltage cables, which could cause
damage or interference with a DMX interface cir‐
cuit.
If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service
Center. You can nd the contact information at www.thomann.de.
