DMX-512 CONTROLLER CONNECTION
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female XLR output of your controller and the
other side to the male XLR input of the PLATINUM WASH 16R PRO™. The diagram
below illustrates a typical DMX-512 connection when the fixture is in the 26 Channel
Extended Mode. You can chain multiple panels together through serial linking. The
cable that should be used is two conductor, shielded DMX cable with XLR input and
output connectors. Always be sure daisy chain your in and out data connections,
never split or "Y" your DMX connections unless you are using an approved DMX
splitter such as Elation's Opto Branch 4™, Opto Branch 8™, or DMX-Branch/4™.

Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do
not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the
cable's shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield
conductor to come in contact with the XLR outer casing. Grounding
the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
