Wiring the DMX Connector
Step 1: Connect leads per the following wiring diagram.
Step 2: Twist strands of each lead tightly (making sure that there are no stray
strands) and push firmly into appropriate plug connector location.
Step 3: Tighten the screws on the plug connector—making sure that no bare
conductor is showing.
Step 4: Tie the Drain/Shield wires together and insulate using a small piece of
heat shrink tubing.
Step 5: Install termination jumpers as required. Termination can be accomplished
on the control board by jumpering the 2 pin header to the left of the
DMX connector.
