[. . . ] 2 Connect up to 31 additional fixtures output-to-input. 3 Insert a termination plug in the output of the last fixture on the link. DA T A · CONNECTION TIPS Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit control data reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft. ). Use heavier gauge cable and/or an amplifier for longer runs. · Never use both outputs to split the link. To split the serial link into branches use a signal splitter. · · Do not overload the link. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link. Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture. The termination plug, which is a male XLR plug with a 120 ohm, 0. 25 watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, "soaks up" the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference. · Use a phase-reversing cable to connect older Martin fixtures with reversed polarity sockets (pin 3 cold). 12 Controller operation Atomic 3000 user manual DMX CONTROL MODES The DMX control options are selected on the Mode DIP switch. 1-channel DMX mode allows you to strobe from 0 flashes per second to the maximum flash rate and trigger the blinder effect from the controller. Intensity is maximum in 1-channel DMX mode. The maximum intensity can be reduced by selecting low power mode as described on page 9. DU R A T I O N Flash duration can be set from 0 to 650 ms on 50 Hz power supplies, or 0 to 530 ms on 60 Hz power supplies, on channel 2 in the 3- and 4-channel DMX modes. Flash duration is fixed in 1-channel DMX mode. RA T E Flash rate can be set from 0 flashes per second to 25 flashes per second Hz on 50 Hz power supplies, or from 0 to 30 flashes per second on 60 Hz power supplies, on channel 3 in the 3- and 4-channel DMX modes. Flash rate is also controllable in 1-channel DMX mode. PR O G R A M M E D EFFECTS Six programmed effects are available on channel 4 in the 4-channel DMX mode only. The effects may be altered using the intensity, duration, and rate controls. · · · · Ramp up: Light gradually increases in intensity, then blacks out. Ramp down: Light flashes to full intensity, then gradually fades. Ramp up-down: Light gradually increases and decreases. Random flash: Light flashes randomly with variable rate and intensity. Multiple units flash independently of each other. · · Lightning: The flashes simulate lightning. Spikes: The lamp remains dimly illuminated between flashes. Set flash intensity, duration, and rate as normal. BLINDER EFFECT The blinder effect, in which the light remains on for an extended period, is available in all DMX modes. In the 3- and 4-channel modes, the effect is achieved Atomic 3000 user manual Controller operation 15 whenever the combination of flash duration and rate prevents pauses between flashes.
