DMX-512 CONNECTION

If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first unit in a DMX chain. If you wish to connect a DMX controller with other XLR outputs you will need to use adapter cables.

Connect the DMX output of the first unit in a DMX chain with the DMX input of the next unit in the chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected. If you use a controller with 5 pin DMX connection you will need to use a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter.

DMX Input
3-Pin XLR Socket

DMX Output
3-Pin XLR Socket
1: Ground
2: Signal (-)
3: Signal (+)

Caution at the unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last unit in the chain.

DMX MODE

This mode allows you to use universal DMX-512 console to operate.

1. Install the units in a suitable position.
2. Use standard XLR cable to connect your units together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. For longer cable we suggest a terminator at the last fixture.
3. Assign a DMX address to each the unit using the display or dipswitches.
4. Turn on all units. Use DMX console to control your units.
