Connect DMX Cables to Fixture
The following instructions are guidelines for connecting DMX to your fixture. Your installation
may vary.
1. Connect the male XLR connector of a DMX data cable to the DMX Thru connector on the
DMX control source.
2. Connect the female XLR connector of the DMX data cable to the DMX In connector of the
first fixture on the DMX control run.
3. Continue linking the remaining fixtures by connecting a cable from the DMX Thru
connector of a fixture to the DMX In connector of the next fixture on the control run.
Note:
when installed in a daisy-chain fashion.

DMX Control and Ethernet Output

You can use DMX-512 control and Ethernet output. When a fixture is set up to receive DMX-512
control input, it converts the signal to ArtNet on IP10 and sends the signal to the Ethernet port,
continuing the ArtNet on IP10 signal to the next fixture in the control run.

Terminate DMX

For installations with a long DMX control run or an electrically noisy environment, we
recommend that you use a DMX terminator or install a resistor on the last fixture of the
DMX control run to prevent corruption (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 that can
be 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
