.

DMX rate
Press <DOWN> or <UP> buttons to choose DMX refresh rate value.
Press <SELECT> or <RIGHT> to set or <LEFT> to decline.
Press <LEFT> to return to the home screen.
The DMX refresh rate setting controls how many times per second the device
outputs DMX over 5-pin XLR connectors. Some DMX devices operate using
different refresh rate settings. For high-speed devices like LED walls anddisplays, the “Adaptive” option can improve response time by matching theincoming refresh rate of DMX coming from the source.

ArtNet Idle resend
Press <DOWN> or <UP> to choose ArtNet Idle respond time (0.5s-4.0s)
Press <SELECT> or <RIGHT> to set or <LEFT> to decline.
Press <LEFT> to return to the home screen.
This setting determines the time ArtNet will refresh the signal after idling. Select0.5s, 1s, 2s, or 4s depending on the application. This only applies to ProPlex IQ
Two DMX connectors set to input mode. Some consoles may not resend a DMX
packet if there is the value is unchanged. ArtNet idle resend time ensures ArtNet
regenerates this unchanged value as some devices like media servers andmoving light need recurring DMX over ArtNet even if no change in values exist.

Universe Format

Press <DOWN> or <UP> to choose how Universe format for DMX ports will be
displayed at the home screen. Press <SELECT> or <RIGHT> to set or<LEFT> to decline.
Press <LEFT> to return to the home screen.

Easy IP
Press <DOWN> or <UP> to turn the Easy IP ON or OFF.
Press <SELECT> or <RIGHT> to set or <LEFT> to decline.
Press <LEFT> to return to the home screen.
This setting ensures that the software will search for all masks, not only for a
specified one. You will not be able to change the subnet mask, if the Easy IP
is on. This setting is useful for most networking situations where subnet
filtering is not required. The IQ Two will automatically find and output ArtNet
and sACN information regardless of IP or Subnet Mask settings. Turning off
Easy IP is useful when using subnet filtering to help separate different areas ofa network when used in conjunction with a managed switch network. An
example of this would be multiple TV studios having independent networks all
attached to one console.

Installation
MOUNTING / RIGGING
Orientation – ProPlex Mini units may be mounted in any position, using the standard yoke. Always make surethere is adequate room for ventilation.
Rigging – Always consult a certified rigging specialist before suspending any device overhead.
Use ProBurger® couplers or equivalent C- or O-type clamps for attaching to truss. After establishing the desiredposition, tighten all appropriate bolts.
Always use safety cables!
When selecting installation location, consider routinemaintenance.
Never mount Mini enclosure where it will be exposed tomoisture, high humidity, extreme temperatures, or restrictedventilation

RackMount Kit
ProPlex RackMount Kits are designed to allow easy rack mounting of ProPlex PortableMount units.
ProPlex PortableMount enclosures include a yoke for truss mounting. Before attaching RackMount Kit, remove theyoke by unscrewing four Phillips-head (crosshead) screws which attach the yoke to the chassis.
Important: Be sure to reinsert the yoke screws into the unit after yoke has been removed.

ProPlex RackMount Kits are available for both Single- or Dual-unit mounting configurations. The 2U
RackMount Kit Single is comprised of two rack ears, one long and one short. The Dual has two short rackears + two Dual Joiners for front and rear of the units.
To fasten the rack ears to the ProPlex PortableMount chassis, remove the three chassis screws on each sidethat align with the rack ear mounting holes at the front of the chassis. Then use the same screws to securely
fasten the ears to the chassis, per below illustrations. The short and long ears can be mounted to either sideof the chassis.

Front of unit

Rack ear screws(3x ea. side)

The drawing below depicts the 2U Large Single (top) and Dual (bottom) RackMount Kits. Note the Dualversion requires TWO center Dual Joiners (included in the Kit), attached at the front and rear of the units,enhancing stability in the rack.
When ordering ProPlex RackMount Kit, Single or Dual, be sure and specify “Large” for the IQ Two 66 2x.

Dual Joiners(front and rear)

Important: Large Dual RackMount Kits are specified only for ProPlex PortableMount Devices (IQ 66 2x orOpto-Splitter 2x8). Only Large Single RackMount Kits are specified for PortableMount ProPlex Drives(FloppyDrive, IMS Universe Drive, and Mozart Drive).

When installing multiple units, they can be mounted on alternating sides of the rack, side by side, orunderneath one another. When Mounting ProPlex IQ Two 66 2x, ensure adequate airflow when mounting
one above the other, whether in Single or Dual Mounting configurations.

Allow minimum ½ U
rack space between
assemblies
