Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the
male 3-pin XLR input of the LED Zoom Par. You can chain multiple Zoom Pars together through serial
linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
Please refer to the diagram below.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment,
such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption
of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω
resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last
fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.
