2 Safety Notes

The units (DMX tester and plug-in power supply
unit) correspond to all relevant directives of the
EU and are therefore marked with
WARNING
It is essential to observe the following items:
G
The units are suitable for indoor use only. Pro-
tect them against dripping water and splash
water, high air humidity, and heat (admissible
ambient temperature range 0 – 40 °C).
G
Do not set the DMX tester into operation, and
immediately disconnect the plug-in power
supply unit from the mains socket if
1. there is visible damage to one of the units,
8
The plug-in power supply unit is
supplied with hazardous mains
voltage (230 V~). Leave servic -
ing to skilled personnel only.
Inexpert handling or modifica-
tion of the unit may cause an
electric shock hazard.
2. a defect might have occurred after a drop
or similar accident,
3. malfunctions occur.
The units must in any case be repaired by
skilled personnel.
G
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth, never
use chemicals or water.
G
No guarantee claims for the DMX tester or
the plug-in power supply unit and no liability
for any resulting personal damage or material
damage will be accepted if the units are used
for other purposes than originally intended, if
they are not correctly connected, operated,
or not repaired in an expert way.
3 Applications
The DMX-1TEST is a versatile tool for testing
units of the light and stage effect technology
which communicate via the DMX512 protocol. It
can both transmit and receive DMX512 signals
and is therefore suitable for checking DMX re-
ceivers (e. g. effect projectors or dimmers) as
well as DMX transmitters (e. g. lighting mixers
or moving light control units).
In addition, the function CABLE TEST offers
the facility to check a DMX cable for different er-
rors like interruption, short circuit, or reverse po-
larity.
.
As an alternative to the power supply via the
supplied power supply unit, the DMX-1TEST
can also be operated with rechargeable batter -
ies and is thus also suitable for mobile applica-
tions. The energy saving mode to be adjusted
and the display illumination to be switched off
increase the operating time.
The rechargeable batteries are charged via
the connected power supply unit.

4 Connecting the Unit

The DMX connections of the DMX tester are of
3-pole design. For installations with 5-pole con-
nections use corresponding adapters (e. g. NA-
3F5M and NA-3M5F of the product range from
MONACOR).
If the units are to be put out of opera-
tion definitively, take them to a local
recycling plant for a disposal which is
not harmful to the environment.
