 Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source volt-

age in your area matches the required voltage for your American DJ

64B LED PRO. The American DJ

®

 64B LED PRO is available in a 120v 

and 220v version. Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, 
you should be sure your unit voltages matches the wall outlet voltage 

before attempting to operate you fixture.  

DMX-512:

 

DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro

-

tocol  used  as  a  form  of  communication  between  intelligent  fixtures 

and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from 

the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that trav

-

els from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR ter

-

minals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA 
“OUT” terminal). 

DMX Linking: 

DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of 

different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single 

controller,  as  long  as  all  fixtures  and  the  controller  are  DMX  compli

-

ant.  To  ensure  proper  DMX  data  transmission,  when  using  several 

DMX  fixtures  try  to  use  the  shortest  cable  path  possible.  The  order 
in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the 
DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 

may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, 

or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address 
of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 

to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation):

 

The 64B LED PRO can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The 64B 
LED  PRO  can  be  a  three,  six,  or  seven  channel  DMX  unit.  The  DMX 

address is set on the back panel of the 64B LED PRO. Your unit and 
your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR 
connector for data input and data output (Figure 

1). If you are making your own cables, be sure to 

use standard two conductor shielded cable (This 
cable may be purchased at almost all pro sound 
and lighting stores). Your cables should be made 
with a male and female XLR connector on either 
end of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable 
must be daisy chained and can not be split.

Notice:

 Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your own 

cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-
nect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield 
conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding 
the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

Special Note: Line Termination.

 

When  longer  runs  of  cable  are 

used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic 

behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con

nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and 
DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last 
unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator 
(ADJ  part  number  Z-DMX/T)  will  decrease  the  possibilities  of  erratic 
behavior.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.

 

Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR 

connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures 

may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting stan-
