Page 17: Dmx Connection
6. DMX Connection 1. 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. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system 2. The DMX output and input connectors are pass‐through to maintain the DMX circuit when one of the units’ power is disconnected. 3. At last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator to reduce signal errors. Solder a 120‐ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX‐) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3‐pin XLR‐plug and plug it in the DMX‐output of the last fixture. 4. Each lighting fixture needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller. The address number is between 0‐511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1). 5. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pins XLR. 3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (‐), Pin 3: Positive signal (+) ... -

If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly. 2. If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and DMX polarity. 3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB of the fixture or the previous one. 4. Try to use another DMX controller. 5. -
