3.5 DMX-512 connection
The xture is equipped with 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. Use a shielded twisted-pair cable
designed for RS-485 and 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the xture or
one xture with another.
DMX output DMX input
XLR mounting sockets (rear view): XLR mounting plugs (rear view):
If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with
the DMX input of the rst xture in the DMX chain. If you wish to connect DMX controllers with other XLR out-
puts, you need to use adaptor cables.
Building a serial DMX chain:
Connect the DMX output of the rst xture in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next xture. Always connect
one output with the input of the next xture until all xtures are connected. Up to 32 xtures can be conected.
Caution: At the last xture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 5-pin XLR plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last xture.
