DMX -512 Control Connections
This fixture complies with international USITT DMX standards and can be used
with a 3 pin DMX connector. Plug in the 3 pin XLR cable to the female 3 pin XLR
output of your controller and the other side to the male 3 pin XLR input of the
fixture. To connect the units to DMX, you must daisy chain the fixtures together
as a referred in the diagram below. Always end your DMX-512 connection with at
DMX terminator.
For installations where the DMX cable has to run for a long distance, or as an
electrically noisy environment, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This
helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The
DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 resistor connected between pins
two and three, which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture
in the chain.
