4.1. Wired DMX Control
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy
Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of
the next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and
has no effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order that
provides for the easiest and most direct cabling.

Pin 1: GND
Pin 2: DMX -
Pin 3: DMX +
OUTPUT INPUT
DMX use of 3-Pin XLR Connectors
Connect machines using shielded 2-conductor twisted pair cable with 3-pin XLR
male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Nega-
tive (S-), and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).
When use a DMX controller, please make sure that there is no interference
sources (e.g. intercom, high frequency radio waves and radiation source).
4.2. DMX Terminator
120ohm, 1/4W
Resistor
DMX Terminator
DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still
occasionally occur. In order to prevent electrical noise from dis-
turbing and corrupting the DMX control signals, a good habit is to
connect DMX output of last fixture in the chain to a DMX termina-
tor, especially over long signal cable runs.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω
(ohm), 1/4 Watt resistor connected across Signal (-) and Signal (+),
respectively, pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output
socket on last projector in the chain. The connections are illustrat-
ed below.
Complimentary signal cable can transmits signals to 20 unit fixtures at most.
