Attention

Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.

DMX Connection

DMX-512 Protocol

DMX-512 is a communication protocol used to control stage lighting and effects.
Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the TIA-485 standard,
no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link.
In order to connect more than 32 devices on one data link, you can use a DMX optically isolated
splitter/booster. If no splitter/booster is used, this may result in deterioration of the DMX signal.

DMX Cables

Shielded twisted-pair cables with 3-pin XLR connectors must be used for a reliable DMX connection.
You can purchase DMX cables directly from your Highlite International dealer or make your own cables.
If you use 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. 09.
