5. Overview

6. Protocols

Kling-Net

ArKaos has designed the Kling-Net protocol to allow the distribution of real-time video data to remote

display devices, such as LEDs or LED panels, over Ethernet.

Kling-Net allows auto configuration of display devices using an etherCON® 8P8C (RJ45) Ethernet

connection.

The device works best with the Arkaos Mediamaster™ Pro software and its Video Mapper extension

(Mac and Windows).

Refer to the ArKaos MediaMaster software manual for detailed instructions on programming this

product (www.arkaospro.com).

Art-Net

Art-Net is a communication system that allows DMX512 to be sent over Ethernet.

The Art-Net protocol was developed by the company Artistic Licence Engineering and has now been

published into the public domain.

The protocol description is available on the following link:

www.artisticlicence.com/WebSiteMaster/User%20Guides/art-net.pdf

Various commercial and open source programs support the Art-Net protocol.

7. Mounting the Device

The device can be mounted in almost any orientation provided that every device is attached by the

mounting bracket.

Mount the device in the desired angle using the included bracket.

Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable

norms.

LX113

The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for 1 hour

without deforming.

The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment such as a safety cable

(e.g. VDLSC7N or VDLSC8N). The secondary attachment shall be designed and mounted in such a

way that no part of the device can fall if the primary attachment fails.

Make sure that the safety cables can carry 10 times the weight of the device. Make sure that the

maximum height of drop is limited so that no injuries can occur. If the safety cables are long, wrap

them around the truss multiple times to reduce the height of drop to a safe level.

Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a

qualified technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.

Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.

Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the

installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not

attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may

result in injuries.

For truss mounting, use an appropriate clamp (not incl.) and fit an M10 bolt through the centre of the

(folded) bracket.

Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.

Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.

Coffin Locks

The device has coffin locks for horizontal alignment.

These locks are for alignment purposes only and cannot be used to support the device.

Additional hardware is required for mounting.

8. Connections

8.1 Power Connections

Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.

Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All devices must be powered directly off a

grounded switched circuit.

Never connect the device to a rheostat or dimmer, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used

solely for 0 % to 100 % switching.

The device has a power output to supply power to another device. When connecting several devices

in a daisy chain via this output, make sure that the total current does not exceed the power line’s

nominal current. Use power cables with an adequate section.

The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.

Disconnect after use.

Power Linking

You can link up to 28 devices at 230 V (15 devices at 120 V). Never exceed this number. Power linking

cords can be purchased separately.

Data Linking

The device works connected through a network switch (or crossover cable) to a controller or computer

(Windows®, Apple Macintosh® or Linux®) with Kling-Net/Art-Net compatible software installed.

Data Connection

With Kling-Net/Art-Net, the device uses an RJ45 data connection to link all data ports.

8.2 DMX Linking

The device works with any DMX controller with a DMX serial connection.

DMX-512 Connection

When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and the

other side to the male XLR input of the device. Multiple devices can be linked through serial linking.

The linking cable shall be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.

Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum recommended

number of devices on a serial data link is 32 devices.

LX113

V. 05 –07/04/2014 6 ©Velleman nv

A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance

or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the

digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω

resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the last device in

the chain.

9. Operation

The device can be used in the following modes:

stand-alone mode

master/slave

with a DMX512 controller.

9.3 Automatic Mode

In automatic mode, the device runs built-in programs.

To set the device to automatic mode:

1. Unplug any connection from the DMX input of the device.

2. Press MENU/ESC until <Auto Show> is displayed and press ENTER.

3. Use UP and DOWN to select one of the built-in programs.

4. Press ENTER to confirm.

9.4 Master/Slave Mode

The master/slave mode allows connecting several devices to a single master device. All slave devices will

then work synchronously with the master device.

You need to set one device to master mode and all other devices to slave mode.

1. Connect all devices in series with DMX cables.

2. The first unit in the chain functions as the master device. Set up the unit as described in the section

Automatic Mode above.

3. On the master device, press MENU/ESC until <Master/Slave> is displayed and press ENTER.

4. Use UP and DOWN to select <Master> and press ENTER.

5. On each slave device, press MENU/ESC until <Master/Slave> is displayed and press ENTER.

6. Use UP and DOWN to select <Slave> and press ENTER.

9.5 DMX Mode

This mode allows you to control the device by any universal DMX controller.

All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the

signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to

the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an

individual address can be set for every device.

When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one

particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices

simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel

number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.

To set the device to work with a DMX controller:

1. Press MENU/ESC until <DMX Channel> is displayed and press ENTER.

2. Use UP and DOWN to select a channel DMX mode and press ENTER.

3. Press MENU/ESC until <DMX Address> is displayed and press ENTER.

4. Use UP and DOWN to set the DMX starting address and press ENTER.
