avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit
is secure and able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight. Also always use a safety cable that can
hold 12 times the weight of the unit when installing the fixture.
The equipment must be fixed by professionals at a place where is out of the reach of people and where nobody
can pass by or under it.

FIXTURE LINKING
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run
synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of
channels required by all fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures that the data link can
support.

Important
: Fixtures on a serial/data link must be daisy chained in one single line. Maximum recommended seri
-
al data link distance: 100 meters. Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures
CABLE CONNECTORS
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.
DMX CONNECTOR CONFIGURATION
INPUT
COMMON
DMX +
DMX-
Resistance 120 ohm
1/ 4w between pin 2
(DMX-) and pin 3
(DMX+) of the last
fixture.
Termination reduces signal errors. To avoid signal
transmission problems and interference, it is always
advisable to connect a DMX signal terminator.
CAUTION
Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause
a ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to check correct polarity
and to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
SETTING UP A DMX SERIAL DATA LINK
1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the con
-
troller.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the controller which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the
input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector.
3. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
MASTER/SLAVE FIXTURE LINKING
1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the first
fixture.
