Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the
male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain multiple
Moving head together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable with
XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator.
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment,
such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption
of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω
resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last
fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.

This device has 4 or 9 DMX channels. If you set, for example, the start address to channel 1, the device
will use the channels #1st to 4th
or
# 1st to 9th for control. The first available channel for the next
fixture will be the 5th or 10th. Please be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to
control each device correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX chain. If two, three or
more devices are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
