Making data connections

Warning! Disconnect the entire installation from power and ensure that power cannot be reapplied,
even accidentally, before working on cables and connections.
See "System layouts" on page 13 for diagrams of possible installations.
To connect a panel to the data link:
1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the EvenLED's DMX IN (male XLR) socket.
2. Run the data link from the EvenLED's DMX OUT or DMX THROUGH (female XLR) socket to the data
input of the next panel (if you are not sure about the different functions of these two sockets, see
"Grouped and independent panel control" on page 11).
3. Terminate the data link by connecting a 120 Ohm, 0.25 Watt resistor between the data 1 hot (+) and cold
(-) conductors at the data output of the last fixture on the link. If the link is branched (i.e. split into
separate links) with an amplifier-splitter, terminate each branch of the link.
