Connectors must be wired according to the 568-B system using the
standard RJ-45 pin-out for DMX applications:
• Pin 1 (White/orange): DMX data hot (+)
• Pin 2 (Orange): DMX data cold (-)
• Pins 7 (White/brown) and 8 (Brown): Common
Pins 3 and 6 are available for Data 2 connections in DMX 512-A or
similar systems. They must be wired as follows:
• Pin 3 (White/green): Available for Data 2 hot (+)
• Pin 6 (Green): Available for Data 2 cold (-)
Pins 4 and 5 are not used in currently available lighting control systems
but can be wired as follows:
• Pin 4 (Blue)
• Pin 5 (White/blue)
XLR 5-pin connection
Many DMX lighting controllers have XLR 5-pin output connectors. To
connect these to the RJ-45 connectors on the Easypix Power, use an
XLR 5-pin to RJ-45 adapter, (available from Martin, P/N 11840111). If
you need to rewire XLR connectors, pin numbers are normally marked
on connectors. Connectors must be wired using the standard XLR DMX
pin-out:
• Pin 1: Cable shield
• Pin 2: DMX Data 1 - (cold)
• Pin 3: DMX Data 1 + (hot)
Important! To avoid ground/earth loop interference, ensure that
the DMX cable shield does not come into contact with the shell or
body of XLR connectors.
