Diversitronics DK56Q-DMX Strobe Cannon Module
The Diversitronics DK56Q-DMX Strobe Cannon Module is a powerful lighting fixture designed for professional applications, particularly in theatrical and entertainment settings. Let's break down its features and functionality:
Purpose and Overview:
- The DK56Q-DMX is part of the Diversitronics Strobe Cannon series, which includes both PAR 56 and PAR 64 modules.
- These strobe modules are intended to be installed into standard theatrical PAR cans (either PAR 56 or PAR 64).
Installation:
- Before installation, always unplug the PAR can line cord.
- Remove the incandescent PAR lamp and connector.
- Connect the strobe cannon module to the power wires using the provided wire nuts.
- For 120-volt models: HOT=Black, NEU=White, GROUND=Green.
- For 220-volt models: HOT=Brown, NEU=Blue, GROUND=Green/Yellow.
- Fish control cables through the rear of the PAR can and connect them to appropriate connectors.
- Close the cover (note that some PAR cans may require inserting the module into the cover first before closing).
Analog Control:
- The DK56Q-DMX features an analog input jack.
- You can connect a Diversitronics Model RC-A single-channel remote control directly to this jack.
- Other 10-volt control sources can also be connected using the following pin assignments:
- Pin 1: Intensity control (do not exceed 24 volts on any input)
- Pin 2: Rate control
- Pin 3: +12 Volt (50mA source, can be used for stand-alone mode)
- Pin 4: Common
Analog Output:
- The module provides an analog output jack.
- You can daisy-chain the analog signal to several strobes from one controller using this output.
- All inputs (except Pin 3) are fed through to the output connector.
- Maximum daisy-chaining capability: ten strobes.
- Maximum cable length: 1000 feet.
DMX Control:
- The DK56Q-DMX accepts DMX input via a standard 5-pin XLR connector.
- It responds to DMX signals for precise control.
- An end-of-line terminator resistor (100-120 ohms) is recommended.
- You can set the strobe to respond to specific DMX channels using the DMX channel select DIP switch.
Safety and Maintenance:
- Never look directly into the flash tube.
- Always unplug the strobe before replacing the lamp and allow time for cooling.
- Use only Diversitronics #6091 lamps.
- Keep the front of the strobe at least 3 feet away from flammable materials.
- Always use safety cables when mounting fixtures.
- Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Remember, the DK56Q-DMX Strobe Cannon Module is a professional-grade lighting tool, not for residential use. Its intense flashes can create dramatic effects in concerts, theater productions, and other live events. Just be sure to follow safety guidelines and enjoy the mesmerizing light displays!
