Basic DMX512 installation consists of connecting multiple Pegasus Luminaires together (up to 32 Total devices
per DMX string) in “daisy-chain” fashion. A cable runs from the control console (or DMX512 control source) to the
DMX INPUT connection on the first Pegasus Luminaire. From the DMX OUTPUT of this Pegasus Luminaire an-
other cable runs to the DMX IN connector on the next Pegasus Luminaire (or DMX512 device to be controlled).
Special Note: at the end of each DMX Daisy chain, it is highly recommended that DMX TERMINATION is turn ON
on the last Pegasus Luminaire in the chain. The Display will show (I---I) when DMX TERMINATION is turned on.
The “Hundreds” decimal point will blink slowly when DMX TERMINATION is active. SEE PAGE 10 of this Manual
