Linking
When using multiple Ray Tracer X fixtures, you can link (“daisy-chain”) them so that each each fixture
supplies power and/or sends DMX data to the next one. This helps reduce clutter in your cabling
and save you setup time.
You do not have to link fixtures for both power and DMX control; you can link them for either
purpose independently. For instance, you could link 8 fixtures together for DMX control while linking
only 4 of those same fixtures together for power (powering the other 4 fixtures separately).
Power
Use a standard IEC power cable to connect the Power Out of one fixture to the Power In of another.
As long as the first fixture is connected to a power outlet, any of the linked fixtures can remain off
and still supply power to the next one.
To prevent undue damage to your fuses, we recommend linking no more than 4 fixtures in the same
chain.
DMX
Use a standard 3-pin DMX cable to connect the DMX Out of one fixture to the DMX In of another.
Your connected DMX controller will send its data to the fixtures in sequence. All fixtures in this chain
will receive all DMX data.
According to the DMX standard, you can link up to 32 fixtures with up to 300 feet (91 meters)
between each fixture, without amplification. Keep in mind the number of channels you are using as
well as the starting address.
