DMX-512 connection
The fixture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The sockets
are wired in parallel.
Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and
connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

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. If you wish to connect DMX-
controllers with other XLR-out- puts, 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 with a terminator. Solder a
120
Ω
resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the
last fixture.
