Stagehand Apprentice 2: Showstopper Emergency Stop Input

The Stagehand requires a 24VDC Emergency Stop signal from a Showstopper in order to allow power to flow to the motor and brakes.

Internally, the Stagehand Pro has a redundant, self-monitoring circuit to ensure that power will be removed from the motor and brakes instantly if the 24VDC Emergency Stop signal is interrupted.

Before you can move any motor, you must connect the Stagehand to a Showstopper with a 5-pin XLR cable. 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.
