Building a serial DMX chain:
Connect the DMX output of the first fixture in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next fixture. Always connect
one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected. Up to 32 fixtures can be connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into 5-pin XLR plug and plug it into DMX output of the last fixture.
The Robin iSpiider´s panel connectors are dust and water protected according to IP 65
