5. Control By Universal DMX Controller
5.1 Connection
1. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120-ohm 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
ATTENTION
Termination reduces signal errors and to avoid signal transmission problems and
interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal (Resistance 120
ohm 1/4W
between pin2 (DMX-) and pin3 (DMX+) of the last fixture).
12F

last unit.
2. Connect the unit together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the unit to the
input of the next unit. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y” cable. DMX 512 is a very
high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily
distort the signal and shut down the system.
3. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when one of
the units’ power is disconnected.
4. Each lighting unit needs to have a DMX address to receive the data by the controller. The address
number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
5. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
6. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pins XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+), Pin4, Pin5 not used.
5.2 Address Setting
If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from 1 to 512
so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press the MENU button to enter menu mode, select DMX Functions, press the ENTER button to
confirm, use the UP/DOWN button to select DMX Address, press the ENTER button to confirm, the
present address will blinking the display, use the UP/DOWN button to adjust the address from 001 to
512, press the ENTER button to store. Press the MENU button back to the last menu or idling let the
unit idle one minute to exit menu mode.
