Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own
cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-
nect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield
conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding
the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

Termination reduces signal errors and

to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance
120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-)
and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

Special Note: Line Termination.
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 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-
nected 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
(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-
512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX
xtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting stan-
dard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used,
these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart
below details a proper cable conversion.

H2O DMX PRO DMX Set Up H2O DMX PRO DMX Control
Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a Elation®
universal DMX-512 controller to control the individual lasers, rota-
tion and macros. A DMX controller allows you to create unique pro-
grams tailored to your individual needs.
1. The Hypnotic RGB is a 3 channel DMX fixture. See page 12 for
detailed description of the DMX values and traits.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 5-6 as well as the set-up specifications that are includ-
ed with your DMX controller.
Follow the instructions on page 8 to
set the DMX address.
3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
4. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.
5. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.

H2O DMX PRO Master-Slave Configuration
Master-Slave Conguration This function will allow you to link up
to 16 units together and operate without a controller. The units will
be sound activated. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the
controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units pro-
grams. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave.
1. Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units togeth-
er via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember the
Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector
is the output. The rst unit in the chain (master) will use the female
XLR connector only - The last unit in the chain will use the male
XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a termina-
tor at the last fixture.
2. On the Master unit press the MENU button until “SLND” is dis-
played, and press ENTER. Press the UP or DOWN buttons so that
MAST” is displayed and press ENTER.
3. On the slave units press the MENU button until “SLND” is dis-
played, and press ENTER. Press the UP or DOWN buttons so that
SL 1is displayed and press ENTER.
4. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.
