4.2 DMX-512 connection/connection between fixtures
The fixture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.The sockets are wired
in parallel.
Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in
order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with
the DMX input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-out
-
puts, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution:
At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120
Ω
resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Building a master/slave-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the master fixture in the data-chain with the DMX-input of the first slave. Always
connect output with the input of the next slave until all slaves are connected (up to 9 fixtures).
Caution:
It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) into the input of the master fixture
and into the output of the last slave fixture in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.
4.3 Rigging the fixture
Please consider the respective national norms during the installation!
The fixture should be hung on a truss structure using a mounting clamp (not included).Mounting yoke has a 13
mm diamer hole for fixing the mounting clamp.The fixture can be - 180°.The required tilt angle of the
fixture can be adjusted by means of the "T" bar on the side of the fixture.
