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. Then,
proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
Often, the setup for Master-Slave
and stand-alone operation
requires that the first fixture in the
chain be initialized for this
purpose via either settings in the
control panel or DIP-switches.
Secondarily, the fixtures that
follow may also require a slave
setting. Please consult the
"Operating Instructions" section
in this manual for complete
instructions for this type of setup
and configuration.
