Installation
The Ilumipod
Inground Tri-3 IP
Optic 25 RGB
products must be linked
using DMX cable in a
daisy chain (serial)
fashion. To comply with
the EIA-485 standard, no
more than 32 products
should be connected on
one daisy chain without
using a DMX optically-
isolated splitter. Doing
otherwise may result in
deterioration of the digital
DMX signal.
USITT
recommends
limiting the total
length of the DMX cable
(from the first
product/controller to the
last product) to
300–455 m
(985–1,500 ft).
Disconnect the
product from the
AC power before
opening it.
The signal cable
must match or
exceed the
electrical characteristics
of the Belden® 9841
cable for EIA RS-485
applications. You may
also use CAT5, 5e, or
CAT6 LAN cable.

DMX Linking
You may link the Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB to a DMX controller using a
standard DMX serial connection. If using other DMX products compatible with the Ilumipod
Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB, you can control each individually with a single DMX
controller.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX
cables needed to link the Ilumipod Inground Tri-3 IP Optic 25 RGB to a DMX controller, you
may download the DMX Primer document from the ILUMINARC® website at
http://www.iluminarc.com/reports/dmx-primer.
