P18 MK2 Wash
The P18 MK2 Wash has a DMX-in and DMX-out connector. Now connect the DMX output of
your controller to the 1st P18 MK2 Wash (Controller DMX-Out -> P18 MK2 Wash DMX-In). Then
the 1st P18 MK2 Wash with the 2nd P18 MK2 Wash (P18 MK2 Wash DMX-Out -> P18 MK2
Wash DMX-In) and so on. In some cases it is advisable to insert a so-called end connector
(XLR connector with a 120 Ohm resistor between pin 2 and pin 3). Whether an end connector
is required depends on various factors, including the cable lengths used and the number of
devices. However, as long as no problems occur in the DMX line, this is not necessary.
4.4 Signal connections
The DMX cabling (signal lines) should be done with a 4-pin cable with shielding. We recommend
a DMX cable (110 Ohm, 4x0.22mm
2
), alternatively a 2-pole micro cable can be used. The plugs
and sockets are 5-pin XLR connectors, which can be purchased in specialist shops.
Pin assignment:
Pin1 = Ground/Shielding
Pin2 = DMX -
Pin3 = DMX +
Pin4 = not connected
Pin5 = not connected

4.4.1 DMX cabling
4.4.2 Ethernet cabling
Ethernet cabling can be done with standard network lines. The sockets on the device are Neutrik
etherCON sockets. Special cables with etherCON connectors are recommended by Neutrik. The
two sockets on the P18 MK2 Wash are connected to each other via a switch. Up to 10 devices
can be connected in series without any delay. Of course, the spotlights can also be supplied in a
star configuration via an external switch. The received signal can be output via DMX. To do this,
set the DMX OUTPUT CONFIG setting to ON in the PERSONALITY menu. After confirming with
ENTER, the spotlight emits the entire received universe.
4.4.3 Wireless reception
The P18 MK2 Wash is equipped as standard with a LumenRadio CRMX receiver for wireless
DMX. The receiver can process both DMX and RDM. If a cable and wireless connection are
connected to the P18 MK2 Wash, the cable connection has priority! The received signal can be
output via DMX. To do this, set the DMX OUTPUT CONFIG setting to ON in the PERSONALITY
menu. After confirming with ENTER, the spotlight emits the entire received universe.
ATTENTION: Make sure that there is no signal at the DMX input at the same time !!
