1. At the last unit, 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-pin XLR-plug and plug it
into the DMX output of the last unit.
2. Connect the unit together in a `daisy chain` by linking the XLR plug from the output of
the unit to the input of the next unit. The cable cannot be branched or split to a `Y`
cable. DMX512 is a high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or
corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
3. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit,
when power is disconnected to the unit.
4.
Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller.
The address number is between 0 and 511 (usually 0 and 1 are equal to 1).
5.
The end of the DMX512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
6.
3-pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.
3-pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+), Pin 4/5: Not
used.
