User Instructions Elation Professional® Rev. 12/04 4295 Charter Street Los Angeles Ca. 90058 www.elationlighing.com To prevent or reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture. Clearing memory often may cause damage to the memory chip, be careful not to re initialize your unit frequency often to avoid this risk. Only use the recommended AC/DC power adaptor. Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside this unit. Do not attempt any repairs yourself, doing so will void your manufactures warranty. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, please contact Elation®. ©Elation Professional® - www.elationlighting.com - PP-DMX20L Instruction Manual Page 2 Special Note: Line Termination. Set Up: When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 90 - 120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior. Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in be sure the source voltPOWER POWER age in your area matches the required voltage for your Elation® PPDMX512 DMX20L.™ The PP-DMX20L™ is available in a 115v and 230v version. DMX+,DMX-,COMMON Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be sure to plug your power supply into a matching wall outlet before attempting to operate you controller. POWER Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements: Your power pack and your controller DMX512 OUT require a standard 3-pin XLR connector 3-PIN XLR 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 “Y”ed or split.

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. Figure 4 The PP-DMX20L,™ is 1, 2, or 4 channel DMX Power Pack. This pack can serve as a stand alone chaser or a DMX power pack. This pack is designed for zero-crossing circuitry which protects against inductive loads, so it is safe for use with lighting effects that include transformers such as pin spots. Each channel comes with two 3-prong Edison sockets inputs for a total of eight. This unit features XLR female and male connection for DMX compatibility. Each channel is equipped with a fuse for each channel, and a maximum output load of 6A per channel or 15A total. This revision of our popular PP-DMX20L™ has a great new case design that makes it great for permanent or mobile applications.
