7 DMX-512 CONTROL CONNECTIONS
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR & 5-pin XLR output of your controller
and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR & 5-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain
multiple moving head together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core,
screened cable with XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy
environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps
in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is
simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, which is then
plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations be-
low.
