• Pins 7 (White/brown) and 8 (Brown): Common

Pins 3 and 6 are available for Data 2 connections in DMX 512-A or 
similar systems. They must be wired as follows:

• Pin 3 (White/green): Available for Data 2 hot (+)

• Pin 6 (Green): Available for Data 2 cold (-)

Pins 4 and 5 are not used in currently available lighting control 
systems but can be wired as follows:

• Pin 4 (Blue)

• Pin 5 (White/blue)

Making data connections

Warning! Disconnect the entire installation from power and ensure that power cannot be reapplied, 
even accidentally, before working on cables and connections.

See “System layouts” on page 13 for diagrams of possible installations.

To connect a panel to the data link:

1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the EvenLED’s DMX IN (male XLR) socket.

2. Run the data link from the EvenLED’s DMX OUT or DMX THROUGH (female XLR) socket to the data 

input of the next panel (if you are not sure about the different functions of these two sockets, see 
“Grouped and independent panel control” on page 11). 

3. Terminate the data link by connecting a 120 Ohm, 0.25 Watt resistor between the data 1 hot (+) and cold 

(-) conductors at the data output of the last fixture on the link. If the link is branched (i.e. split into 
separate links) with an amplifier-splitter, terminate each branch of the link.
