The DMX Operator™ require a DC 9v 200mA power supply. The DMX Operator™ is available in a 115v and 230v version. 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. Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements: Your fixture and your 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 “Y”ed or split. Figure 1 Notice: Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with XLR outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior. American DJ Supply®. Los Angeles, CA. 90058 USA DJ Scan Page 2 DJ Scan™ Set Up Cont. Special Note: For excessive cable runs of 100ft. total or more, we recommend using a terminator of 80-100 ohms/.5w. Long cable runs can sometimes cause erratic behavior. Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.
