CABLE CONNECTORS
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.
DMX connector configuration
Termination reduces signal errors. To avoid signal transmission problems and interfe-
rence, it is always advisable to connect a DMX signal terminator.
CAUTION
Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground. Groun
-
ding the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically.
Test cables with an ohm meter to check correct polarity and to make sure the pins
are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
Setting up a DMX Serial Data Link
1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the
controller.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the controller which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the
input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector.
3. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
DMX address setting
Each fixture must have a specific starting address. When receiving signal transmission, every fixture will receive
channels control signals for its own starting address.
The user can set several fixtures to the same address or set up a separate address for every device.
If more than one fixture is set to the same address, all of them receive the same DMX channels signals. All
connected fixtures are jointly controlled; the controller can’t control a device separately.
If every device is set to a different address, it will receive different DMX signals corresponding to its starting
address.
This device has 9 or 17 channels. So, if the device is set to 9CH and the first device’s starting address is set to
1, second is 10 (1+9), third is 19 (10+9) and so on.
