Connect DMX Cables to Fixture
The following instructions are guidelines for connecting DMX to your fixture. Your installation
may vary.
1. Connect the XLR plug connector of a DMX data cable to the DMX Out connector on the
DMX control source.
2. Connect the XLR socket 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 Out
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 Art-Net on IP10 and sends the signal to the Ethernet port,
continuing the Art-Net on IP10 signal to the next fixture in the control run.

Terminate DMX

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 authorized dealer or ETC for ordering information
(etcconnect.com/contactETC/).
