DMX512 connection:
The fixture is equipped with 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The sockets are wired in
parallel.
Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in
order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

DMX Linking:
To ensure proper DMX data transmission when using several DMX fixtures, try to use the
shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the
DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line.
When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1
to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Operating Modes:
You can use the fixture in 3 ways:
•
Auto Mode - The unit will automatically chase through the different colors and built-in programs.
