Dmx Receiver; Dmx Transmitter; Power Supply Unit - IMG STAGELINE DMX-1TEST Manual De Instrucciones

4.1 DMX receiver

To test a DMX receiver (e. g. effect projector,
dimmer) or an installation consisting of several
DMX receivers, connect the DMX input of the
first unit to the jack DMX OUT (11).

4.2 DMX transmitter

To test a DMX transmitter (e. g. lighting mixer,
moving light control unit, PC DMX interface),
connect its DMX output to the jack DMX IN (12).
4.3 DMX cable
To test a DMX cable, use this cable to connect
the jacks DMX IN (12) and DMX OUT (11).
4.4 Inserting the rechargeable batteries
For mobile applications the DMX-1TEST can be
operated with rechargeable batteries. To insert
the rechargeable batteries:
1) Remove the 6 housing screws and open the
housing.
2) Remove the safety screw (13) on the cover
of the battery support. Press the marking on
the cover (14) and open the cover by sliding
it in arrow direction (see fig. 3).
3) Insert four 1.2 V rechargeable batteries of
type NiMH (no 1.5 V batteries!) of size AA
into the battery support with the correct po-
larity according to the imprint.
4) Close the cover of the battery support, repo-
sition the upper part of the housing, and
retighten it.
If the DMX tester is not used for a longer period
of time, the rechargeable batteries should be
removed. Thus, the unit will not be damaged in
case the batteries should leak.
Do not put defective rechargeable
batteries into the household rubbish
but take them to a special waste dis-
posal (e. g. collective container at
your electrical supply shop).

4.5 Power supply unit

Connect the low voltage plug of the supplied
plug-in power supply unit to the jack "9 – 12 V "
(9) and the power supply unit to a mains socket
(230 V~/50 Hz).
Inserted rechargeable batteries are recharged
when the power supply unit is connected. The
charging takes approx. 8 to 10 hours with dis-
charged batteries of a capacity of 1300 mAh.
The charging process is automatically stopped
when a voltage of 1.4 V per battery is reached.
