DMX Control

The SolaPix 19 fixture operates on standard DMX-512 control bus, controlled by a DMX console.
The fixture requires 114 channels of DMX-512 in standard mode.
Attach the fixture to the control bus using a two-core, shielded cable with a 5-pin XLR connector
(Belden 9729 is preferred).
Two XLR termination receptacles are available: one for connection of DMX Input, and one for
DMX Thru (used when daisy-chaining to additional fixtures on the DMX control bus).

DMX Connector Pinout

For DMX Input, the DMX cable must have a male XLR connector on one end of the cable that
connects to the fixture. When daisy-chaining DMX to the next device, prepare a DMX cable with
a female XLR connector on one end and a male XLR connector on the other end. Terminate the
cable ends as indicated in the pinout image below.
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.
