If you are using the standard DMX-controllers, 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 DMX-controllers with other
XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter cables.
-
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture.
Always connect output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
-
If you use a controller with 5 pins DMX connector, you need to use a 5 to 3 pins adopter
-
At last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ohm 1/4W resistor
between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3 pins XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last
fixture.
-
Connect the fixture together in a daisy chain by XLR plug cable from the output of the fixture to the input
of the next fixture. The cable cannot be branched or split to a Y cable. DMX 512 is a very high speed
signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily distort the
signal and shut down the system.
-
The DXM output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when power is
disconnected to the unit.
-
Each fixture needs to have a DMX address to receive the data from the controller. The DMX address
number which could be read from rear panel of each fixture is between 000~511.
-
The end of the DMX 512 chain should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
