2. Setup
A DMX data link is needed to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 lighting
console. The combined number of channels required by all of the fixtures on the DMX data link will
determine the number of fixtures the DMX data link can support.
Important: Fixtures on a DMX data link must be daisy-chained in one single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. Connecting more
than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically isolated splitter may result
in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance between fixtures: 300 meters (984 ft.)

Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis
ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your
fixture may perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to verify
correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted
to the shield or each other.
