BUILDING A SERIAL DMX CHAIN
•
Note: the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX chain with the DMX-input of
the next fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all
fixtures are connected.
•
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 1640ft
•
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with the
terminator. Solder a 200Ω resistor between Signal (-) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin
XLR plug and plug it into the DMX output of the last fixture.
DMX MASTER-SLAVE MODE
•
If you are using a controller with this fixture, you can connect the DMX-output of
the controller directly with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX chain. If you
wish to connect a DMX-controller using other XLR socket types you need to use an
adapter cable.
DMX CONTROLLER MODE
•
Other LED lights operating as slaves will work synchronously when connected in a
chain using DMX cables.
DMX ADDRESS SETTINGS
•
Each light should be set with a particular starting address code. According to the
actual requirements, users can either set multiple lamps with the same address
code, or set each lamp with an independent address code.
•
Setting multiple lamps with the same address code means all connected lamps will
be controlled together.
•
Setting each lamp with a different address code means the next light's DMX
address is dependent on the light's DMX channels.
•
This product has 6 DMX channels. For example the DMX address for the first light
is 1, the DMX address for the second light should be 7 (1+6x1), the DMX address
for the third light should be 13 (1+6x2) and so on.
