The `Status' LED will help you with this process. It has the following indications: White - The unit is in setup mode or disconnected from any transmitter. Blue - The unit is in transmitter mode and connected to one or more receivers. Blue flashing fast - The unit transmitter is connecting to receivers. Blue flashing slow - No DMX-signal present on the transmitter. Green - The unit is in receiver mode and connected to a transmitter. Green flashing slow - The unit receives no DMX-signal from transmitter. Green flashing fast - The unit transmitter is connecting to receivers. Red flashing fast - Transmitter missing. A receiver can only pair with a transmitter while it is disconnected from DMX: Status LED should be White. Transmitter mode: 1 - Turn off power, and unplug DMX input cable. 2 - Press and hold the function button, turn on the power until the status LED turns white, then release the function button. 3 - Press function the button, to switch status LED to be blue. 4 - Press and hold the function button, until the status LED turns white, then release the function button. 5 - After initialization is complete, restart the power. Receiver mode: 1 - Turn off power, and unplug DMX input cable. 2 - Press and hold the function button, turn on the power until the status LED turns white, then release the function button. 3 - Press the function button, to switch status LED to be green. 4 - Press and hold the function button, until the status LED turns white, then release the function button. 5 - After initialization is complete, restart the power. www.prolight.co.uk Mini Box G3 User Manual 5 Operating instructions To connect receivers to a specific transmitter: Make sure that the receivers to be connected are not linked to another transmitter: The function button LED indicator should be white. Press function button of transmitter, so the status LED is blue on the transmitter and green on the receivers start flashing. Wait until the flashing stops; The receivers are now linked to the transmitter. To check if the connection was made properly, press function button on the transmitter again, the status LED of all linked receivers will start flashing, any receivers linked to another transmitter will not flash. Disconnecting receivers from a DMX universe/transmitter: Press function button of transmitter for about 3 seconds until the status LED turns red, the status LED on the receivers should turn white which means they are disconnected. After a few moments the status LED on the transmitter turns blue again. You can also reconnect the receivers simply by pushing on the function button on the transmitter. The status LED on the receivers should turn green. To disconnect an individual receiver from a transmitter: Press function button on the receiver for about 3 seconds until the status LED turns white. This receiver is now disconnected from the transmitter. www.prolight.co.uk Mini Box G3 User Manual 6 DMX setup Setting the DMX address: The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1- 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107. DMX 512: DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA "IN" and DATA "OUT" XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a data "out" terminal). DMX linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain. DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation): This fixture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of the unit. Your unit requires either a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for data input/output, please check the fixtures specifications as to which your unit accepts. Further DMX cables can be purchased from all good sound and lighting suppliers or Prolight Concepts dealers. Please quote: 3-Pin: CABL10 2m CABL11 5m CABL12 10m 5-Pin: CABL185 2m CABL187 5m CABL188 10m Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split. www.prolight.co.uk Mini Box G3 User Manual 7 DMX setup Notice: Be sure to follow the diagrams below when making your own cables. Do not connect the cables shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLRs outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.

Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibilities of erratic behaviour. (3-pin - Order ref: CABL90, 5-pin - Order ref: CABL89) 3-Pin 12 3 Termination reduces signal transmission problems and interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4W) between pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture. 5-Pin 15 24 3 5-pin XLR DMX connectors: Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The diagram below details the correct cable conversion. 5-pin XLR (female) Pin 1: GND (screen) Pin 2: Signal (-) Pin 3: Signal (+) Pin 4: N/C Pin 5: N/C 3-pin XLR (male) Pin 1: GND (screen) Pin 2: Signal (-) Pin 3: Signal (+) 3-pin XLR (female) Pin 1: GND (screen) Pin 2: Signal (-) Pin 3: Signal (+) 5-pin XLR (male) Pin 1: GND (screen) Pin 2: Signal (-) Pin 3: Signal (+) Pin 4: N/C Pin 5: N/C www.prolight.co.uk Mini Box G3 User Manual 8 WEEE notice Correct Disposal of this Product (Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment) (Applicable in the European Union and other European countries with separate collection systems) This marking shown on the product or its literature, indicates that it should not be disposed with other household wastes at the end of its working life.
