Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

DMXSetUp

Notice:

•Besuretofollowgures2&3whenmakingyourowncables.Donotconnectthecable’sshield

conductortothegroundlugorallowtheshieldconductortocomeincontactwiththeXLR’soutercasing.

Groundingtheshieldcouldcauseashortcircuitanderraticbehaviour.

Special Note: Line termination:

•Whenlongerrunsofcableareused,youmayneedtouseaterminatoronthelastunitto

avoiderraticbehaviour.

Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90 3-pin or CABL89 5-pin) will decrease the

possibilities of erratic behaviour.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:

•Somemanufacturesuse5-pinXLRconnectorsfordatatransmissioninplaceof3-pin.5-Pin

Termination reduces signal transmission problems

and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a

DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between

pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.
