DMX -512 Control Connections
This xture complies with international USITT DMX standards and can be used
with a 3 pin DMX connector. Plug in the provided 3 pin XLR cable to the female 3
pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 3 pin XLR input
or the xture. To connect the units to DMX, you must daisy chain the xtures to-
gether as a referred in the diagram below. Always end your DMX-512 connection
with at DMX terminator.
For installations where the DMX cable has to run for a long distance, or as an
electrically noisy environment, 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 resistor connected between pins
two and three, which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last xture
in the chain.
