Linking Fixtures
LM-2013
fixtures operate on a standard DMX512 link controlled by a DMX console. The
number of fixtures on a link will be determined by the combined number of channels required
by all the fixtures. A KL-3036-PPC fixture using Standard protocol requires a maximum of 12
channels on a DMX512 link. Attach the fixture to the link using data-grade cable and 5-pin XLR
cable connectors.
Cable Connectors
LM-2013
fixture accepts 5-pin XLR cable connectors. Cabling must have a male XLR
connector on one end of the cable and a female XLR connector on the other end.
Pin one is the common (cable shield), pin two is the data complement (negative), pin three is
the data true (positive). Pins four and five are not used, but they allow a secondary data link
to pass through the fixture.
Test each cable with a voltage/ohm meter (VOM) to verify correct polarity and to make sure
that the negative and positive pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or to each other.
Connecting to the Link
To link one or more fixtures to a DMX controller:
1. Connect the male XLR connector of a DMX Data cable to the controller’s DMX Data Out
connector.
2. Connect the Data cable’s female XLR connector to the Data In connector of the first (or
next) fixture on the DMX link.
3. Continue linking the remaining fixtures connecting a cable from the Data Out connector of
each fixture to the Data In connector of the next fixture on the link.
CAUTION:
Do not connect anything to the ground lug on the XLR connectors.
Do not connect or allow contact between the common (cable
shield) and the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding the common
could cause a ground loop and/or erratic behavior.
