The HQ-100 Performance Hazer operates on standard DMX-512 control bus, controlled by a
DMX console, and it requires 4 channels of DMX-512.
The hazer includes two 5-pin XLR connectors, one for DMX In and one for DMX Out (for use
when daisy-chaining additional devices on the DMX control bus). See Overview on page 6 for
the location of the XLR connectors.

Use the following standard pinout when preparing DMX cable with 5-pin XLR connectors. ETC
recommends using Belden 9729 or equivalent cable. (See the ETC cable cross database for
equivalent alternatives:

pair in the recommended cable type is not used, but is reserved future service.
