DMX-512 connection / connection between fixtures

The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise

the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.

Please note, the starting address depends upon which controller is being used.

Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with

the fixture or one fixture with another.

Occupation of the XLR-connection:

If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly

with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other

XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.

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.

Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120

Ω

resistor

between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

The master/slave-operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master-

device.

On the rear of the LED THA-60PC Theater Spot you can find an XLR-jack (DMX Out) and an XLR-plug

(DMX In), which can be used for connecting several devices.

Choose the device which is to control the spotlights. Set the desired Master-mode on the master-device.

This device then works as master-device and controls all other slave-devices, which are to be connected to

the master-device via a balanced microphone lead. Connect the DMX out connectors with the DMX input

plug of the next device.

Set the Slave-mode on every slave-device.

Press the MODE button to select the SLAVE mode. The devices set in this manner can now be controlled by

the master unit.
