Performer 2500 Fresnel Tungsten
DMX Cables
Shielded twisted-pair cables with 5-pin XLR connectors must be used for reliable DMX connection.
You can purchase DMX cables directly from your Highlite International dealer or make your own cables.
If you use 3-pin XLR audio cables for DMX data transmission, this may lead to signal degradation and
unreliable operation of the DMX network.
When you make your own DMX cables, make sure that you connect the pins and wires correctly as
shown in Fig. 12.
Master/Slave Setup
The Performer 2500 Fresnel Tungsten supports master/slave control mode. To connect multiple devices in
master/slave setup, follow the steps below:
01) Connect the first device's DMX OUT connector to the second device's DMX IN connector.
02) Repeat step 1 to connect all devices as shown in Fig. 13.
03) Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device in the setup.
04) Set the first device on the data link as a master device. See 6.6.6.8. Mcon on page 29 for more
information.
05) Set the remaining devices to slave mode. See 6.6.4. Run Mode on page 26 for more information.
