Connecting to the Link
To link one or more fixtures to a DMX controller:
Connect the male XLR connector of a DMX Data cable to the controller's DMX Data Out connector.
l
Connect the Data cable's female XLR connector to the Data In connector of the first (or next) fixture on the
l
DMX link.
Continue linking the remaining fixtures connecting a cable from the Data Out connector of each fixture to
l
the Data In connector of the next fixture on the link.
DMX Terminatation
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment, a DMX terminator on the
last fixture of the link prevents data reflection, which cancorrupt the data communication on the link.
Terminate the link by installing a 120 ohm, 1/4 watt (minimum) terminator in the fixture's Data Out (female) cable connector in the last
fixture on each DMX link.
