5. How to Control the Unit
5.1 DMX 512 Connections
The DMX512 is widely used in intelligent lighting control, with a maximum of 512 channels.
1. Connect the fixture together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the fixture to the
input of the next fixture. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y” cable. Inadequate or
damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down
the system
2. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit when one of the
units’ power is disconnected.
3. At last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator to reduce signal errors. Solder a
120Ω, 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the
DMX-output of the last fixture.
4. Each lighting fixture needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller. The
address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
5. 5 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pins XLR.
5pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)

6. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some suggestions for
easy troubleshooting:
Problem Possible Cause Action
The unit does not work,
no light.
Incorrect power cable
connection.
Check the connection of
power.
Incorrect mains voltage.
Measure the mains
voltage
on the main connector.
The unit does not
respond properly to the
DMX control.
Incorrect DMX cable
connection.
Check DMX connectors
and cables to see if link
properly. Repair or
replace damaged wires.
Incorrect address
assignment to the units.
Check the addresses of
the units and the protocol
settings.
Unfinished data
connection.
Insert a terminal plug in
the output jack of the last
unit of the connection.
It has been set up an
operating mode different
from the DMX mode
used.
Check the operating
mode set up.
Try to use another DMX
controller.
7. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on
the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause
greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least every 30 days.
