DMX-512 CONNECTION
If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the
first unit in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
If you use a controller with 5 pin DMX connection you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter.
At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+)
into a 3-pin XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last fixture in the chain.

Connect the first unit "DMX OUT" socket with the second unit "DMX IN", using a 3pin DMX Cable. Repeat this process with the
third, fourth etc. or see a above section "DMX-512 connection". Choose the unit that will control all other and set this in master-
mode via display. The other units that must react on the master, you must set in slave-mode. The "Slave" will synchronously
