4.2 Connecting Data
The fixture is equipped with 5-pin (or 3-pin) XLR sockets for DMX input and output. Use a
high-quality DMX cable designed for RS-485 and 5-pin (or 3-pin) XLR-plugs and connectors
in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another. For outdoor
installations, use only IP-rated XLR connectors suitable for outdoor use.
Building a serial DMX chain:
Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the fixture’s data input socket. 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.
Up to 32 fixtures can be connected to the same DMX link. Terminate the DMX out cable of
the last fixture in the data link with a 120 ohm DMX terminator.
