DMX Connection
You can operate a maximum of 32 devices in a DMX chain. Operating more that 32 devices will
overload the controller.
The total length of the DMX chain should not exceed 500m.
The use of XLR microphone cables can cause interferences in the DMX signal transmission. In
this case, please use special DMX high-frequency cables.
Connection of a DMX Controller
Only connect the device to a DMX controller with a DMX-512 protocol.
• Connect the connection DMX INPUT with the output of the DMX controller.
• The controller must have at least 6 free control channels.
• Connect DMX OUTPUT with the DMX input of the subsequent device.
• Proceed accordingly with all other devices of the DMX chain.
• If the effect light is the last or the only device in the DMX chain, insert an XLR plug with a 120 ohm/0.25 W
terminating resistor into the DMX OUTPUT socket (between Pin2 and Pin3).
Pin assignment of the DMX connection: Pin1 = earth / Pin2 = (-) / Pin3 = (+).
Never connect the earth pin (GND) to the casing of the effect light, which might result in interference
in signal transmission caused by earth loops.
