Occupation of the XLR-connection:
If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller direct-
ly with the DMX-input of the rst xture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with
other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-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.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator:
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environ-
ment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing
corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with
a 120 resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the
last xture in the chain.
Caution: At the last xture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω re-
sistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last
xture.
