DMX512 Control

 

Fixtures require a "Start Address" from 1 to 512, setting the first DMX channel containing data 
for the fixture (see DMX Background).  Before addressing fixtures, consult the manual of the 
system’s DMX controller to select a desirable addressing scheme.  Valid Start Addresses range 
from 1 to 512.  Fixtures requiring more than one channel for control will read subsequent 
channels up to the total number of channels required.  Since this fixture requires a maximum of 
6 channels of DMX, if set to a Start Address of 7 it would use data from channels: 7 and 8, 9, 
10, 11, 12.   Choose a Start Address so the channels used do not overlap with other fixtures.  In 
some cases, it may be desirable to set two or more same type fixtures to the same Start 
Address.  In this case, the fixtures will be slaved together and respond to the same data.  
Because all fixtures see the same data, fixtures may be set to any address without concern for 
the order they are connected by the DMX cables.   
 

Note:

 For DMX to operate on this unit, all STANDALONE options must be set to Off. 

 

DMX Data Connection 

This fixture uses 3 pin XLR type connectors and shielded twisted 
pair cable approved for EIA-422/EIA485 use.  Fixtures are 
connected in Daisy Chain topography:  Connection is made from 
the controller to the DMX-IN of the first light, then from the DMX-
OUT to the DMX-IN of the next light and so on.  Only one data 
source can be on a chain and no branching is allowed.  The 
physical order in which the fixtures are connected is not 
important, use the most convenient.  

 
 

Data Terminator 

A Data Terminator can be connected to the DMX-OUT of the last 
fixture to reduce the effects of signal noise; it is not required for all 
installations. To make a Terminator, connect a 120-ohm ¼ watt 
resistor across pin 2, Data Negative (S-) and pin 3, Data positive 
(S+). A qualified technician can determine if a Data Terminator is 
needed. 

 
 

Adapter

 

5-to-3 pin 

Systems using 5 pin DMX interfaces can be accommodated by purchasing 3-to-5 pin 
adapters or building adapter cables.  Numbers designating each pin can be found on 
connectors.  Converting between the two XLR types is done in a pin-to-pin fashion.   
Connect the shields to pin 1, then connect pin 2 to pin 2 and pin 3 to pin 3, regardless of 
either connector’s gender or pin count.  No connection is made to Pins 4 & 5.
