2518 DMX Controller
C o n n e c t i n g a M I D I D e v i c e
With a MIDI device connected to the 2518 DMX Controller, you can control lights via
MIDI. Connect the device’s MIDI output to the controller’s MIDI input using a standard
MIDI cable. A standard MIDI cable consists of a shielded twisted-pair and 5-pin DIN con-
nectors wired pin 2 to pin 2, pin 4 to pin 4, and pin 5 to pin 5. The cable shield is connected
to pin 2. Pins 1 and 3 are not used. The cable may be up to 15 meters (50 feet) long.

The 2518 DMX Controller is delivered without a plug on the power cord. Following the
manufacturer’s instructions, install an approved 3-prong grounding-type plug that fits your
supply. Connect the wires to the pins as listed below. If the pins are not clearly identified, or
if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.
