DMX Control

The SolaWash 2000 fixture operates on standard DMX-512 control bus, controlled by a DMX
console. The fixture requires 36 channels of DMX-512.
Attach the fixture to the control bus using a two-core, shielded cable with a 5-pin or a 3-pin
XLR cable connector (Belden 9729 is preferred).
Two XLR termination receptacles are available: one for connection of DMX Input and one for
DMX Out (used when daisy-chaining to additional fixtures on the DMX control bus).

DMX Connector Pinout

For DMX Input, the DMX cable must have a XLR plug connector on one end of the cable that
connects to the fixture. When daisy-chaining DMX to the next device, prepare a DMX cable
with a XLR socket connector on one end and a XLR plug connector on the other end.
Terminate the cable ends as indicated in the pinout image below.

2. Connect the XLR socket connector of the DMX data cable to the DMX In connector of the
first fixture on the DMX control run.
3. Continue linking the remaining fixtures by connecting a cable from the DMX Out
