• Use standard DMX cables to daisy chain your units together via the DMX connector on the rear of the
units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture (see page 13).
3.6 LINKING
Several units may be interconnected in order to control all further slave units to the same effect of the
master unit.
1. Connect the DMX OUT of the master unit via 3-pole XLR cable to the DMX IN of the first slave unit.
2. Connect the DMX OUT of the first slave unit to the DMX IN of the second slave unit, etc. until all units are
connected in a chain.

3.9 CONNECTION OF THE DMX LINE
DMX connection employs standard XLR connectors. Use shielded pair-twisted cables with 120Ω impedance
and low capacity.
The following diagram shows the connection mode:
DMX - INPUT
ATTENTION
The screened parts of the cable (sleeve) must never be connected to the system's earth, as this would cause
faulty fixture and controller operation.
Over long runs can be necessary to insert a DMX level matching amplifier.
For those connections the use of balanced microphone cable is not recommended because it cannot trans-
mit control DMX data reliably.
