5. DMX-512 CONTROL CONNECTIONS
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin or 5-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male
3-pin or 5-pin XLR input of the MICROH LED PHANTOM. You can chain multiple units together through serial linking. The
cable needed should be a two core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram
below.
DMX-512 Connection With DMX Terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance, or is in an electrically noisy environment, it is
recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120
Ω
resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged
into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.
