Setting up a DMX Serial Data Link  

1.  Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of 

the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin 
connector of the controller.   

2.  Connect the end of the cable coming from 

the controller which will have a (female) 3 
pin connector to the input connector of the 
next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin 
connector.  

3.  Then, proceed to connect from the output 

as stated above to the input of the following 
fixture and so on.

Stand-Alone/Master/Slave Fixture Linking 

1.  Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector 

of the first fixture.   

2.  Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin 

connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then, 

proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on. 

Often, the setup for Master-Slave 
and Standalone operation requires 
that the first fixture in the chain be 
initialized for this purpose via either 
settings in the control panel or DIP-
switches. Secondarily, the fixtures 
that follow may also require a slave 
setting. Please consult the 
“Operating Instructions” section in 
this manual for complete instructions 
for this type of setup and 
configuration.
