DMX In and DMX Thru cables terminate to RJ45 connectors.
DMX is installed in a daisy chain topology and includes one
pair of wires (Data + and Data -) plus an ISO ground
(common). ETC recommends Cat5e (or better) minimum 24
AWG conductors terminated to T568B standard. Up to 32
D1, D2, or D4 series drivers can be connected per DMX run.
DMX Connection to Driver
1.
Run your DMX lines through the other previously installed screw-clamp conduit connector and
terminate the RJ45 connectors to the DMX In and DMX Thru terminals accordingly.
2.
Reinstall the driver cover using the two previously removed screws.
Note:
ArcSystem multi-cell luminaires and standalone drivers are not self-terminating.
You must terminate the last multi-cell luminaire or standalone driver in line with a 120
Ω
resistor.
To purchase an RJ45 terminator, please contact your ETC customer service representative
and request part number N4086.
