Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not use
the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield
conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact
with the XLR outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit
and erratic behavior.
DMX-512 CONTROLLER CONNECTION
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female XLR output of your controller and the other
side to the male XLR input of the ARENA PAR ZOOM™ (Please refer to the diagram
below.). You can chain multiple panels together through serial linking. The cable that should
be used is two conductor, shielded DMX cable with XLR input and output connectors.
Always be sure daisy chain your in and out data connections, never split or “Y” your DMX
connections unless you are using an approved DMX splitter such as Elation’s Opto Branch
4™, Opto Branch 8™, or DMX-Branch/4™.
