NOTE: A suitable XLR audio cable connects the two signal leads
to PIN 2 and 3, while ground is soldered to PIN 1. Please make sure
that the wiring doesn‘t change within the cables: a polarity error
or short circuit between the Pins will at least impair or completely
stop the control functionality.
2) Connect the other (male) plug of the cable to the DMX IN
connector of the first Autark unit.
3) Connect additional Autark units according to this pattern (Slave
DMX OUT to Slave DMX IN).
NOTE: Please note that the last unit in a daisy chained configu-
ration via DMX should be terminated by a termination resistor.
Otherwise control problems may arise.
Next, you must enter an individual DMX address for each Autark unit
via its menu. The operation in the menu is described from page 7.
Wireless control via WDMX
Autark OD09 incorporates a WDMX receiver that can receive and
implement control signals from a suitable WDMX transmitter. For
remote control via WDMX, proceed as follows:
1) Connect a XLR audio cable (not supplied) to the DMX out socket
of the controller.
2) Connect the other (male) plug of the cable to the DMX In socket
of an optional WDMX transmitter (e. g. Nowsonic WRX-1).
3) Turn on the internal WDMX receiver of the Autark unit by
choosing ON and finally FUN in the U-D menu.
4) Next, set the DMX address of the Autark unit to A001 via the
Addr menu.
5) Finally, press the button at the external WDMX transmitter for
establishing and setting up the connection.
6) The connection is established, when the dot in the lower right of
the display of the Autark unit flashes.
Operation with battery
Autark OD09 integrates a battery pack which is automatically charged
when the unit is connected to the mains and turned on. Using the
internal battery, the unit can be operated up to 12 hours with two or
three colors. However, the power of the LEDs is automatically limited
to 5 watts.To operate Autark OD09 with the battery, just pull the mains
plug before powering the unit: after powering up, the current char-
ging status of the battery pack is shown via the LEDs of the battery
indicator.
In case of a malfunction, you can access and exchange the internal
battery pack via service cover on the back panel. Please contact first
the dealer from whom you have purchased the device.
