Connect the lighting cont roller
Once all heads have been connected to the RoboColor III controller, connect the
RoboColor III controller to the lighting controller. The procedure is the same for a
Martin RS-485 or DMX 512 controller, but you may need a 5-to-3-pin adapter
cable if using a DMX 512 controller.
1
Connect the data output on your lighting controller to the data input on the
RoboColor III controller.
MARTIN CONTROLLER: Use the XLR-XLR or DSUB-XLR cable supplied with
the controller.

Pin 1: GND (screen)
Pin 2: Signal (+)
Pin 3: Signal (-)
DMX CONTROLLER: Most DMX controllers have 5-pin XLR sockets for data
output. Use a 5-pin to 3-pin phase-reversing adaptor, such as P/N 11820003,
as shown below. This adaptor connects pin 2 on one end to pin 3 on the other
end, and vice versa, to correct the difference in polarity between the
RoboColor III system and the DMX controller.
Note: The RoboColor III controller also has an option to swap the XLR pin
connections, making phase-reversing cables unnecessary. See page 18.
