Data linking multiple luminaires
You need to create a serial data link to:
• Operate two or more Cyclo 03 Directionals in master/slave stand-alone
mode, where all luminaires run a synchronized light show without a
separate DMX control device
• Control luminaires with a DMX control device.
A reliable data connection requires suitable cable. CAT 5 (category 5) UTP
(unshielded twisted pair) network cable is suitable for this purpose. Your
Martin Architectural dealer can advise and supply suitable cable.
Luminaires on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in one single line,
maximum 500 meters (1640 ft.) long, with maximum 32 luminaires. To
exceed 32 luminaires or 500 meters, or to add branches, an optically
isolated amplifier-splitter such as the Martin RS-485 Opto-Splitter (P/N
90758060) must be used.
Data cable can be connected to the Cyclo 03 Directional via RJ-45 sockets
that are wired as follows:
• pins 7 & 8 to ground (earth)
• pin 2 to signal - (cold)
• pin 1 to (hot).
