Building a serial DMX-chain (DMX Mode)
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.
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next
fixture. Always connect output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
If you use a controller with 5 pins DMX connector, you need to use a 5 to 3 pins adapter
Connect the fixture together in a daisy chain by DMX 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. DMX 512 is a
very high speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors
can easily distort signal and shut down the system.
Each fixture needs to have a DMX address to receive the data from the controller. The DMX
address number which could be read from rear panel of each fixture is between 001-512
The end of the DMX 512 chain should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
