CONNECTIONS
DMX512 control
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise
the devices will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Please note, the starting address depends upon which controller is being used.
Only use a DMX-cable and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with
the device or one device 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.
