DMX SETUP
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. The Focus Spot 5Z uses 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA
transmission in place of a 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When
inserting standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adapter must be used, these adapters are
readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.
3-Pin XLR to 5-Pin XLR Conversion

Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1

DMX ADDRESSING
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fixture
responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which
the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment
of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control
display on the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for
each individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react in the
same way, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number
you have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the settings
of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.
In the case of the Focus Spot 7Z, when in 30 channel mode you should set the starting DMX address
of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 31 (30 + 1), the third unit to 61 (31 + 30), and so on. (See the
chart below for more details.)
Channel Mode Unit 1 Address Unit 2 Address Unit 3 Address Unit 4 Address
30 Channels 1 31 61 91
34 Channels 1 35 69 103
45 Channels 1 46 91 136
