9. DMX Connection
You can operate a maximum of 30 devices in a DMX chain without overloading the
controller.
The maximum total length of the DMX chain should not exceed 100 m.
Use of XLR microphone cables may cause interferences in the DMX signal transmis-
sion. In this case, please use special DMX high-frequency cables.
a) Connection of a DMX controller
Only connect the device to a DMX controller with a DMX-512 protocol.
• Connect the port DMX IN (8) with the output of the DMX controller.
• The controller must have 3, 5 or 7 free control channels depending on operating mode.
• Connect DMX OUT (9) 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 OUT (9) socket (between Pin2 and Pin3).
