DMX-512
Signal Connection
Connect the supplied XLR cable to the female 3-pin of the controller. The other side of
the XLR output is the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head. (The 5-pin connection
is similar) You can link multiple moving heads together via a serial link. The required
cable should be a two-core shielded cable connector with XLR inputs and outputs.
Please refer to the figure below.

DMX-512 connection with DMX termination
For installations where the DMX cable must be operated over long distances or
electrically operated in a noisy environment, such as in a disco, DMX termination is
recommended. This helps prevent electrical damage to the digital control signal noise.
The DMX terminator is only connected between the XLR plug pins 2 and 3 of the 120Ω
resistor and then inserted into the output of the last fixture. The XLR socket is in the
chain. Please see the illustration below.
