120 Ohms DMX-512 Controller
The wires must not come contact with each other, otherwise
the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Please note, the starting address depends upon which controller is being used.
Only use a DMX-cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture
or one fixture with another.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
If you are using controllers with this occupation, 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.
Caution:
At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120
Ω
resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
