FR10 Bar Quick Start and Safety Manual Rev. A
7. Connecting to DMX data
Check that all cables and connectors are suitable for the installation environment and
application (see recommendations in ‘Avoiding damage to the fixture’ on page 9).
The FR 10 Bar supports USITT DMX 512A, Art-Net and sACN DMX control data signal
protocols. It also supports RDM (Remote Device Management).
Two types of data connection are available:
• Two 5-pin XLR connectors for IN and THRU connections on a DMX data link using
standard DMX protocol. We recommend the use of digital 110 Ohm DMX cable with
original Neutrik 5-pin XLR HD connectors if connecting to the XLR connectors.
• Two EtherCON sockets for IN and THRU connections on a DMX data link using Art-
Net or sACN protocol. You can use either socket for data IN or data THRU. Use CAT6
or better Ethernet cables for the data link if connecting to the Ethernet ports.
The EtherCON sockets use fail-safe technology that allows data through even if the
fixture is powered off.
If you would like advice with planning and installing a DMX link, your GLP supplier will
be happy to provide assistance.
