Manual | Storm1000
CAUTION:
Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding the
common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm
meter to verify correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or
each other.
3-Pin / 5-Pin
If you use a controller with a 5 pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter.
They are widely available over the internet and from specialty retailers If you’d like to build your own,
the chart below details a proper cable conversion:

Take It To The Next Level: Setting Up DMX Control
Step 1:
Connect the male connector of the
DMX cable to the female connector (output)
on the controller
Step 2:
Connect the female connector of the
DMX cable to the first fixture’s male connector
(input). Note: It doesn’t matter which fixture
address is the first one connected. We re-
commend connecting the fixtures in terms of
their proximity to the controller, rather than
connecting the lowest fixture number first,
and so on.
Step 3:
Connect other fixtures in the chain
from output to input as above. Place a DMX
terminator on the output of the final fixture
to ensure best communication.
