FIXTURE INSTALLATION MOUNTING POINTS • Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the device, among other skills. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation your- self.
Connect one end of the provided XLR cable to the female XLR output of your controller, and the oth- er end to the male XLR input of the SIXPAR 300IP™. The diagram below illustrates a typical DMX- 512 connection when the fixture is in the 12 Channel Mode. You can chain multiple panels together through serial linking.

In the case of the SIXPAR 300IP™, when in the 6 Channel Mode, you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 7 (1 + 6), the third unit to 13 (1 + 6 + 6), and so on.
REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM) NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used throughout the entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems. Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for lighting, and allows the DMX systems of the fixtures to be modified and monitored remotely.
