Connecting DMX cable to facepanel
These instructions explain how to connect DMX512 outputs and provide DMX512
connector pinout specifications. The facepanel provides DMX512 output ports that can be
configured in the Facepanel Configuration screen (see DMX Output, page 178 ).
Connect DMX cable to the facepanel:
Step 1: Verify that your cable connector pinout matches the pinout listed below. If your
pinout does not match, contact your dealer or ETC.
C A U T I O N :
Your dimmer control common must be compatible with facepanel control common;
they must either be the same level, or the dimmer control common must float.
Verify compatibility with your dealer if you are not sure.
Step 2: Connect DMX512 cables to DMX512 output connectors on the facepanel rear
panel (see Emphasis Facepanel Rear Panel Connections, page 268 ).
