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 OPTI QA PAR™ The diagram below illustrates
a typical DMX-512 connection when the fixture is in the 9 Channel Mode. 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™.
