Data link

A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a fixture via DMX.
The fixture has 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield,
pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+).
Or the fixture has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is
pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+). Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used

Connecting the data link

To add more fixtures or groups of fixtures when the above limit is reached, add a DMX universe and another daisy-
chained link.
Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit control data
reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters. Heavier gauge cable and/or an amplifier is
recommended for longer runs.

Tips for reliable data transmission

To connect the fixture to data:
1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest fixture's male 3-pin XLR DMX input connector.
2. Connect the DMX output of the fixture closest to the controller to the DMX input of the next fixture and continue
connecting fixtures output to input.
