North America: A cable with a NEMA 15-5P plug is provided for use with the EN12 in the USA and Canada.
This approved cable must be used in North America.
Rest of the world: The provided power cable is not fitted with a country-specific plug. Install only a plug
that meets local and or national electrical codes and is suitable for the country's specific requirements.

manufacturer's instructions. To apply power to the product: In addition to the input, the unit
has a loop through output connection, allowing daisy chaining between multiple EN12s. Do

All DMX Output connections are 5pin female XLR; however, the pin-out on all sockets is pin 1 to shield,
pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). Pins 4 and 5 are not used.
Carefully connect DMX cables to the respective ports.
To prevent damaging the DMX ports, provide strain relief and support. Avoid connecting FOH Snakes to
the ports directly.
Certain functions may require adapters (purchased separately), such as a 5 pole XLR male to 5 pole XLR
male.

The Ethernet cable is connected on the back of the router into the port labeled A or B. Devices can be
daisy chained, but it is recommended not to exceed 10 Netron devices in one chain. Although this is an
Locking RJ45 Ethernet connector, and the use of Locking RJ45 Ethernet cables is recommended, any
RJ45 connector is suitable.
The Ethernet connection is also used to connect a computer to the EN12 for remote configuration via a
web browser. To access the web interface, simply enter the IP address shown in the display in any web
browser connected to the device. Information about the web access can be found in the manual.
