STRATOS STROBE OVERVIEW

Product Overview

Setup

Operating Instructions

The Stratos Strobe is a DMX-512 controllable, strobe made up of high efciency and super bright

LED’s.

The Stratos Strobe will operate in stand-alone, Master/Slave, sound activated or via DMX-512

control.

STRATOS STROBE MASTER/SLAVE

Master/Slave

The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link up as many units as you want in a daisy chain fash-

ion. In this mode, the rst unit in the daisy chain will control the following units.

1) Connect all units in a daisy chain as described in the section following.

2) For master unit in Auto mode: Set dip switch 8 to ON and all others to OFF

3) For master unit in Sound Activation mode: Set dip switch 8+9 to ON and all others to OFF

4) For Slave mode: set dip swiches 10+1 to ON and all others to OFF

Stand-Alone Mode

• You can run the xtures in an automatic stand-alone mode by simply setting all xtures

to run as master units. (set dip switch #8 to on and all others off).

Sound Activation

The Stratos Strobe has a built-in microphone which enables it to operate in Sound to Light mode.

Set the sensitivity control to the desired level, and the RGB 252 will change colour to the beat of

the music. Set dip switch 9 to ON to activate Sound Mode.

Daisy Chain Connection

1) Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin

connector of the rst xture

2) Connect the end of the cable coming from the rst xture which will have a (female) 3 pin

connector to the input connector of the next xture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector.

Proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following xture

and so on.

Manual Control Options

Dimmer

• With Dip Switch 1 only set to ON you obtain 25% output

• With Dip Switch 2 only set to ON you obtain 50% output

• With Dip Switches 1, 2 and 3 only set to ON you obtain 75% output

• With Dip Switches 1, 2, 3 and 4 only set to ON you obtain 100% output

Strobe Speed

Once you have selected the output power, you can vary the Srobe Speed by using the following:

• With Dip Switch 5 only set to ON you obtain minimum speed

• With Dip Switches 5 and 6 only set to ON you obtain medium speed

• With Dip Switches 5, 6 and 7 only set to ON you obtain fast speed

• With Dip Switches 5, 6, 7 and 8 only set to ON you obtain maximum speed

Blackout Mode

With only dipswitch #10 + 1 set to ON the Stratos Strobe will blackout.

DMX Control Mode

Operating in a DMX control mode environment gives the user the greatest exibility when it comes

to customising or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of

the xture and each xture independently. The Sratos Strobe uses 2 channels of control.

Enable the DMX control by setting dipswitch No: 10 to the ON position. Use dipswitches 1 – 9 to

address each xture accordingly.

Setting the DMX address

The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each xture requires a “start

address” from 1- 511. A xture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data

on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a xture 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.

STRATOS STROBE CONTROL OPTIONS

Set the start address using the group of dip switches located usually on the back of the xture.

Each dipswitch has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will

provide the start address. Determining which switches to toggle ON given a specic start address

can be accomplished in the following manner. By subtracting the largest switch value possible

from the selected start address until zero is achieved.

EXAMPLE STARTING ADDRESS

Address 10

Pin NO: 4 = 8

Pin NO: 2 = 2

Total = 10

Address 24

Pin NO: 5 = 16

Pin NO: 4 = 8

Total = 24

DMX address using

simple maths

233 - (128 = 105,Turn on dip No: 8

105 - (64) = 41,Turn on dip No:7

41 - (32) = 9,Turn on dip No: 6

9 - (8) = 1,Turn on dip No: 4

1 - (1) = 0,Turn on dip No:1

You will most likely use the first available

number which maybe Number 1.This

number was selected for

example purposes

STRATOS STROBE DMX SET UP

DMX-512:

• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between

intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the

controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the

DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (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 xtures and the controller are DMX compliant.

To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the

shortest cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not

inuence the DMX addressing. For example; a xture 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

xture 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):

• The Stratos Strobe can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the

back of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for

data input/output (gure 1).

Figure 1

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Further DMX cables can be purchased from all

good sound and lighting suppliers or Prolight

dealers.

CABL10 – 2M

CABL11 – 5M

CABL12 – 10M

Notice:

• Be sure to follow gures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. Do not connect 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 behaviour.

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 behaviour.

Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90) will decrease the possibilities of erratic

behaviour.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:

• Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-Pin

XLR xtures 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 chart below details the

correct cable conversion.

Termination reduces signal transmission problems

and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a

DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between

pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.
