Power Supply To Fixtures - Philips ColourChaser Touch Installation Manual

Power supply to fixtures

Connect another UTP patch cable (not included) between the power supply's IN socket and the
DMX input on one of the fixtures. If the fixture does not have a RJ-45 socket, you will need a
3-pin or 5-pin XLR-to-RJ-45 adaptor that connects the pins as shown below.
RJ-45 pin Function
7, 8 signal common
2 data -
1 data +
Connect the fixtures together in a serial chain, output to input. Connect no more than 30
fixtures and keep the total cable run to 300 m (1000 ft.) or less. If the application exceeds these
limits, DMX splitter/amplifiers may be used after the power supply to increase the cable run and/
or number of fixtures.
Line terminator
Terminate the end of the data line to prevent reflections that can distort the signal. This is usually
accomplished by inserting a suitable 120 ohm termination plug into the DMX output of the last
fixture in the line.
