Installation in series
The installation must be in
series
, and the first element must be the central console.
On each device a communications cable must enter and another one leave through the same connector
towards the next device, the same as with the pair of power cables.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended to use a category 5 FTP cable of minimum two flexible, multicore pairs for the connection of bus 485.
Use of a rigid, unicore type cable can lead to problems on the power and data part, preventing the system working
correctly.
Installation of more than 16 elements
For a “
standard
” installation, the modules must be connected in series, since the DMX 512 communication
protocol needs this in order to work correctly.
