DMX-512 connection / connection between fixtures
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the
controller directly with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to
connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next
fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are
connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a
120
resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the
DMX-output of the last fixture.
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.

Addressing
The dip switch 1-12 on the rear side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address,
which is defined as the first channel from which the item will respond to the controller. If you
set, for example, the address to channel 7, the item will use the channel 7 to 14 for control.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each item
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more
items are addressed similarly, they will work similarly. For address setting, please note the
following:

Switch the signal selector on the rear panel of the unit to the DMX 512 and now the item can
be controlled via standard DMX 512 controller. For example, under the control of the standard
16-channel DMX operator, if the address of the 1
st
item is set as 1, the dip 1 should be ON, the
