4. Control By Universal DMX Controller
4.1 DMX Connection
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 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 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. 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 (+)
14D

4.2 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 the DMX Functions, press the ENTER button
to confirm, use the UP and DOWN button to select the DMX Address, press the ENTER button to
confirm, the present address will blink on the display, use the UP and DOWN button to adjust the
address from 0 to 512, press the ENTER button to store. Press the MENUbutton back to the last
menu or let the unit idle 7 seconds to exit menu mode.
