DMX 512
DMX 512
1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3
pin adapter
‐
cable.
2. The last units DMX cable has to be terminated with a 120 ohm 1/4W
resistor between pin 2(DMX
‐
) and pin 3(DMX+) of a 3
‐
pin XLR
‐
plug and
plug it in the DMX
‐
output of the last unit.
3. Connect the unit together in a `daisy chain` by XLR plug from the
output of the unit to the input of the next unit. The cable can not
branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX 512 is a very high
‐
speed signal.
Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors
can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
4. The DMX output and input connectors are pass
‐
through to maintain the
DMX circuit, when one of the units’ power is disconnected.
5. Each fixture unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent
by the controller. The address number is between 1
‐
512.
6. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal
errors.
7. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (
‐
), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (
‐
), Pin 3: Positive signal (+),
Pin 4/Pin 5: Not used.
