3.4 DMX-512 connection
The fixture is equipped with 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 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to
connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
DMX - output
DMX-input
If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with
the DMX input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX controllers with other
XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX input of the next fixture. Always connect
one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected. Up to 32 fixtures can be connected.
Caution:
At the last fixture, the DMX cable should be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120
Ω
resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 5-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last fixture.
