As with all our devices, they need to be connected to function.
Each Stagehand and smart machine requires a direct connection to a Showstopper 3 Base or Showstopper 3 E-Stop Hub. These connections are made with a Neutrik 5-pin XLR cable. There’s no tech wizardry here, any 5-pin XLR cable will work as long as the polarity is correct. The 5-pin XLR cable is not a DMX signal, but rather it was chosen as a convenient cable that is prevalent in many venues so you should always be able to find a spare cable when needed.
Below is the pin-out for the Showstopper Emergency Stop output:
All challenges faced with the Showstopper 3 E-Stop Patch Panel will only be connection issues.
Check that you are connected to an E-Stop Output of a Showstopper 3 Base or Showstopper 3 E-Stop Hub as the source.
Check that your screw terminals are wired correctly.
Check that your screw terminals have a tight connection.
Verify that the Stagehand Controller in your Showstopper 3 Emergency Stop Network is connected.
