6. DMX-512 Control Connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 5-pin XLR output of the
Elektralite CP 16/24
or other DMX controller. The
other end should be connected to the male 5-pin XLR input of the
Elektralite CW Dazer
. Then daisy-chain out of the first
Elektralite CW Dazer
and into the next
Elektralite CW Dazer
or other dmx device. Never
“Y”
split the DMX connection.
If you need more cable, then it should be two core, screened cable fitted with a 5 pin XLR input and output connector. 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, it is
recommended that a DMX terminator is used. This helps prevent corruption of the digital control signal. The DMX terminator
is simply a 5 pin XLR plug (male) with a 120
Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3. It is then plugged into the output
XLR socket of the last
Elektralite CW Dazer
or other dmx device in the chain. Please see illustration below.
