• Connect the fixture together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the fixture to the input
of the next fixture. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y” cable. Inadequate or damaged cables,
soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
• The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit when one of the units’
power is disconnected.
• At last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator to reduce signal errors. Solder a
120-ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the
DMX-output of the last fixture.
• Each lighting fixture needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller. The address
number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
• 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pins XLR.
• 3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
• 5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+),
• Pin4/5: not used
8. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some suggestions for easy
troubleshooting:
A. The fixture does not work, no light
• Check the connection of power and main fuse.
• Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
• DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly.
• If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and DMX polarity.
• If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB of the fixture or the
previous one.
• Try to use another DMX controller.
• Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may cause damage or inter-
ference to DMX interface circuit.
C. Some fixtures don’t respond to the easy controller
• You may have a break in the DMX cabling.
• Check the LED for the response of the master/ slave mode signal.
