DMX CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS
There are two different connectors which can be used
for DMX control. They are both XLR type connectors.
Some units use 3 pin connectors. Others use 5 pin
connectors. The FXLD354WAO
receives a DMX
signal on the 3 pin MALE connector on one side of the
unit. The 3 pin FEMALE connector is used to connect
the next DMX device on the control chain. If your
console uses a 5 pin connector you can make up an
adapter cable to accommodate this. The table below
shows the pin assignments for BOTH the 3 pin and 5
pin connectors.
DMX TERMINATION
A DMX chain should be terminated at the last
receiving device on the chain. This is done by
installing a commonly available 1/4 Watt, 120 Ohm
resistor across the DATA - and DATA + wires at the
last device. If you have only a few fixtures very close
together and a very short run to the controller then you
may be able to operate without the terminator.
OPERATION
A control panel on rear of the unit is used to set the
operating options. It consists of an LED display and
four buttons
(MENU, ENTER, UP, and DOWN).
Push
MENU
to access the operating options. Then use
UP
and
DOWN
to scroll through the available choices.
When you reach the option you want to set or change -
push
ENTER
.
Now you can view the current setting
for the option and/or change it. Push MENU to save
your changes and activate the option. See the "MENU
NAVIGATION" diagram for additional details.
There are 9 operation modes: DMX, Amber Level,
White #1 Level, White #2 Level, Flash, Fade, Auto
Sequence, Sound Color, and Sound Flash.
