5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission
in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting
standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are
readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

Boom Box FX2 DMX Set Up
The unit should be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided), affixing it to the mounting
bracket that is provided with the unit. Always ensure that the unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration
and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit is
secure and is able to support a weight of 10 times the unit’s weight. Also, always use a safety cable
that can hold 12 times the weight of the unit when installing the fixture.
The equipment must be installed by a professional, and it must be installed in a place where it is out
of the reach of people’s grasp.
