However, a properly maintained fog machine should provide years of reliable use. Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly replacement and repair charges.

    Data Cabling To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET-certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.
  • Page 9: Cable Connectors

    If you use a controller with a 5 pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter. Note! Note! CHAUVET Model No: DMX5M, or DMX5F. CHAUVET Model No: DMX5M, or DMX5F. The chart below details a proper cable conversion:...
  • Page 10: Master/Slave Fixture Linking

    Master/Slave Fixture Linking 1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the first fixture. 2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector.
  • Page 11: Master/Slave Mode

    4. O PERATING Master/Slave Mode: This mode will allow you to link up to 32 units together without a controller. Use standard DMX cables to daisy chain your units together via the DMX connector on the rear of the units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture. For more information about terminators, see page 9.
  • Page 12: Setting The Starting Address

    SETTING TH E STARTIN G ADDR ESS This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address.
