integrated in the base assembly. Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your G-Lites
Quad Wash 360, always be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable. The fixture provides
a built-in rigging point for a safety cable on the hanging bracket as illustrated above. Be sure
to only use the designated rigging point for the safety cable and never secure a safety cable to
a carrying handle.
5. DMX-512 control connections
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other
side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain multiple Moving head
together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable with XLR
input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installation where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy
environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps
in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is
simply an XLR plug with a 120
Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then
plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.
