DMX512 Control
Use a DMX cable and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the
fixture or one fixture with another. If you wish to connect DMX controllers with other XLR outputs, you need
to use adapter cables.
1
Connect the DMX output of your DMX controller to the DMX input of the fog machine.
2
Connect the DMX output to the DMX input of the next device. Always connect one output with the input
of the next device until all devices are connected.
The XLR jack has a latching. To remove the plug, press the PUSH lever.
3
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.
Adjusting the DMX start address
The fog machine reserves one control channel on the DMX controller. To
ensure that the control signals are properly directed to the machine, it must be
adjusted to the DMX start address provided for it on the DMX controller. The
address is adjusted via the DIP switches as a binary number. The address will
result when adding the place values of the DIP switches set to “
ON
“.
Please make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each device correctly
and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more devices are addressed similarly, they will work similarly. As soon as the fog machine
receives DMX control signals, the green DMX indicator lights up and the machine can be operated with the
DMX controller.
CAUTION!
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise
the devices will not work at all, or will not work properly.
CAUTION!
The starting address depends upon which controller is being used.
