Connecting to DMX data
Check that all cables and connectors are suitable for the installation environment and
application (see recommendations in ‘Avoiding damage to the fixture’ on page 10).
Use digital 110 Ohm DMX cable with IP65 5-pin XLR connectors to supply DMX data to
fixtures.
Keep connectors sealed with their rubber caps at all times when not in use.
The XPAR 12Z has two 5-pin XLR connectors for IN and THRU connections to a DMX data
link.
XPAR 12Z fixtures support the USITT DMX 512A signal protocol. They also support RDM
(Remote Device Management).
The 5-pin XLR connectors use standard pin allocations:
1 Signal
Ground
2 Data

If you would like advice with planning and installing a DMX link, your GLP supplier will be

Installing optional barndoors
An optional barndoor accessory is available for the XPAR 12Z that can be installed on the
front of the fixture to control lateral light spill if required.
