DMX INFORMATION
Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, check that the voltage of the power outlet matches the
required voltage for your device, which is available in a 120-V and 230-V versions. Because line volt-
age may vary from venue to venue, you should be sure your unit voltage matches the wall outlet volt-
age before attempting to operate you fixture.
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol that is used as a form
of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data
instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture
to fixture via the DATA "IN" and DATA "OUT" XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most control-
lers only have a DATA "OUT" terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufacturers to be
linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX
compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, try to use the shortest cable path possible
when linking several DMX fixtures. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not
influence the DMX addressing. For example, a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed
anywhere in a DMX line: at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is
assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that
unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation): This device can be controlled via
DMX-512 protocol. It features 5 selectable DMX channel modes, which are listed in the DMX Traits
section of this manual. The DMX address is set on the back panel. Your unit and your DMX control-
ler require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output (Figure 1). We recommend
Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm
shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all pro lighting stores). Your cables should be
made with a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other. Also remem-
ber that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
