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.
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 resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output XLR
socket of the last fixture in the chain.
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.
