Connecting dimmers to console
These instructions explain how to connect DMX512 outputs and provide
DMX512 connector pinout specifications. The console provides three
DMX512 output ports for a total capacity of 1,536 outputs.
Follow these steps to connect dimmers to your console:
1. Verify that your dimmer connector pinout matches the pinout listed
below. If your pinout does not match, contact your dealer or ETC.
Caution: Your dimmer control common must be compatible with
console control common; they must either be the same level, or the
dimmer control common must float. Verify compatibility with your
dealer if you are not sure.
2. Connect up to three DMX512 cables to DMX512 output connectors
on the console’s back panel (shown under Console’s back panel, page
324).
