DMX SET UP
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of communi-
cation between intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from
the controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the
DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (most controllers only havea
DATA “OUT” terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufacturers to be
linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX
compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, try to use the shortest cable path possible when
using linking DMX xtures. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence
the DMX addressing. For example, a xture assignedaDMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere
in a DMX line: at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a xture is assigned a
DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no
matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation): This xture can be controlled via
DMX-512 protocol. Your unit and your DMX controller require a 5-pin XLR connector for data input
and data output. We recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are making your own cables, be
sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (available at almost all pro lighting stores). Your
cables should be made with a male XLR connector at one end and a female XLR connector the other.
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a termi-
nator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is
connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted
in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable
terminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.
TO MAINTAIN IP65 RATING INTEGRITY AND PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING THE FIX-
TURE, ALL CONNECTION RUBBER CAPS MUST BE SEALED WHEN NOT IN USE, AND ONLY
IP65 RATED POWER AND DATA CABLES MUST BE USED.
