Connection between the controller and a projector and between one projector and another must be
made with a 2 core-screened cable, with each core having at least a 0.5mm diameter. Connection to
and from the projector is via cannon 3 pin (which are included with the projector) XLR plugs and
sockets. The XLR's are connected as shown in the figure above.
Note: Care should be taken to ensure that none of the pins touch the metallic body of the plug or each
other. The body of the plug is not connected in any way. The XLED 590 accepts digital control
signals in protocol DMX512 (1990).
Connect the controller’s output to the first fixture’s input, and connect the first fixture’s output to the
second fixture’s input and connect the rest fixtures in the same way. Eventually connect the last
fixture’s output to a DMX terminator.
DMX Terminator:
In the Controller mode, at the last fixture in the chain, the DMX output has to be connected with a
DMX terminator. This prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control
signals.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω (ohm) resistor connected across pins
2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output socket on the last projector in the chain. The
connections are illustrated below.
