Only use a DMX 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:
If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly
with the DMX input of the first device 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 device in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next device. Always
connect one output with the input of the next device until all devices are connected.
Caution:
At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120
Ω
resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX output of the last fixture.
Master/Slave operation
The master/slave operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master
device.
On the rear panel of the device you can find an XLR jack and an XLR plug, which can be used for
connecting several devices.
Choose the device which is to control the effects. This device then works as master device and controls all
other slave devices, which are to be connected to the master device via a DMX-cable. Connect the OUT jack
with the IN plug of the next device.
Press the MODE button to select the
SLAVE
mode. The devices set in this manner can now be controlled by
the master unit.
Please see further instructions under
Operation.
