3.3 DMX wiring
Use a shielded twisted-pair cable with two pairs to connect the serial link. Connect all pins if
you want to upgrade the software in cross-load. If a microphone cable (or any other cable with
only one pair) is used the software can not be updated via DMX line because pin 4 and 5 are not
connected.
Pin assignment:
Pin 1 = shield
Pin 2 = data -
Pin 3 = data +
Pin 4 = data out -
Pin 5 = data out +

shielded signal cable
The Sparx10 has 3pin and 5pin XLR connectors for DMX-in and DMX-out. Do not connect more
than one data input and one data output on a fixture.
Connect the DMX-out of the control desk to the first Sparx10 in line. (lighting control desk DMX-Out
-> Sparx10 DMX-in). Connect the second Sparx10 to the first in line, and so on (Sparx10 no. 2 DMX-In
-> Sparx10 no. 1 DMX-Out). All 3-pin and 5-pin connectors are wired parallel. Do not use this fixture
as a DMX splitter! The DMX-Out of the last unit in line is not occupied unless problems occur. Then
use a termination plug with the last Sparx10 in line. (XLR-connector with a 120 Ohm resistor soldered
between pin 2 and pin 3). Problems might occur when the line is overloaded, e.g.
Install a plug like described in chapter 3.1.
Connected load: Voltage 100-240 Volts, frequency 50 - 60 Hz, power max. 600 VA. Connect the
fixture to a proper installed grounded system only. If any doubts on the electrical installations
occur, consult a qualified electrician. In case of damages occurring due to a not proper installed
electrical system, warranty claims will be invalidated. Don´t use fixtures when top cover is not
fixed properly. Contact with electronic parts can result in risk for life. (Electrical shock 100-240 V)
Connect fixture only after assuring that the electrical installation fits your demands. If any doubts
occur consult a qualified technician!
Power can be relayed to another device via the grey PowerCon throughput socket that accepts
a grey PowerCon NAC3FCB cable connector. Note that blue input and grey throughput connec-
tors have different design: one type cannot be connected to the other.
