DMX SETUP

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of communication

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 have a 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

linking several DMX xtures. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not inuence

the DMX addressing. For example, a xture assigned a DMX 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 unit

can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol and features 2 selectable DMX

modes. Please refer to the DMX Traits section of this manual for detailed

information. The DMX address can be set using the controls on the rear panel

of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a 3-pin XLR connector

for data input/output. We recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are

making your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded

cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all pro lighting stores). Your

cables should be made with a male XLR connector on one end and a female

XLR connector on 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 terminator

on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-

nected 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.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors: Some manufacturers use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA trans-

mission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX xtures may be integrated into a 3-pin DMX line with a 5-pin to

3-pin adapter cable. These adapters are readily available at most electronics stores. Follow the chart

below for a proper conversion.
