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.
Please note, the starting address depends upon which controller is being used.
Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin screw connector and -plugs and connectors in order to connect
the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
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.
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 EUROLITE LED EXT-Blinder you can find a 3-pin screw connector for DMX-input
and a 3-pin screw connector for DMX-output, 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 stereo shielded cable. Connect
the OUT-jack with the IN-plug of the next device.
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains via optional power supply cable.
The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:
Cable
Pin
International
Brown
Live
L
Blue
Neutral
N
Yellow/Green
Earth
The earth has to be connected!
If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with a
minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation.
The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in compliance with the IEC-
standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum
fault current of 30 mA.
Lighting effects must not be connected to dimming-packs.
