DMX Control
The SolaFrame 750 fixture operates on standard DMX512 control bus, controlled by a DMX console. A
SolaFrame 750 fixture requires 47 channels of DMX512. Attach the fixture to the control bus using a two-core,
shielded cable with a 5-pin XLR connector (Belden 9729 is preferred).
Two XLR termination receptacles are available, one for connection of DMX Input, and one for DMX Out (used
when daisy-chaining to additional fixtures on the DMX control bus).
DMX Connector Pinout
For DMX Input, the DMX cable must have a male XLR connector on one end of the cable. When daisy-chaining
DMX, the other end of the cable must have a female XLR connector. Terminate the cable ends as indicated in
the pinout graphic below.
Terminate DMX512
For installations where there is a long DMX cable run, or is in an electrically noisy environment, it is recom-
mended to use a DMX terminator or install a resistor on the last fixture of the DMX control run to prevent cor-
ruption (data reflection) of the digital control signal by electrical noise.
A DMX terminator is an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, which can be
l
installed into the DMX output receptacle of the last fixture in the DMX control run. This plug is available
and sold separately. Contact your local High End dealer for ordering information.
Alternatively, terminate the link by installing a 120 ohm, 1/4 watt (minimum) resistor in the fixture's Data
l
Out (female) cable connector in the last fixture on each DMX control run.
