4.6 Connection to the mains

Connect the fixture to the mains with the enclosed power-plug.

The earth has to be connected!

The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:

Cable

Pin

 International

Brown

Live

L

Blue

Neutral

N

Yellow/Green

Earth

4.7 DMX-512 connection/connection between fixtures

The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise

the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.

Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the

fixture or one fixture with another.

Occupation of the XLR-connection:

DMX - output

DMX-input

XLR mounting-socket:

XLR mounting-plug:

 If you are using the standard DMX -controllers, 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 

W

 resistor

between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
