2- Installation
The assembly process of the product starts with fixing the case with screws, ends
with the assembly of dmx data cables, led cables and finally the power supply.
2.1. DMX Connection
The device has 2 3 pin terminal DMX Outputs. It consists of DMX +, DMX-, Com pins.
These outputs are isolated from each other and represent the same DMX universe.
DMX outputs are separated from each other and from the processor module inside
the product by optical isolation. You can use these two outputs for electrical separation
of two regions that receive their data from the same universe, or you can use them
as backup outputs.
Make DMX connections while there is no energy in the receiver units and your device.
Next to each DMX output there are 3 pins to activate the termination resistor. These
are factory set to the "ON" position. If you do not want to use this ending resistor spe-
cific to your application, you can switch it to the "OFF" position.
We strongly recommend using twisted cable for transmission of dmx
data.

ing fixtures. If you need more DMX universes, please visit www.arget-
ron.com and see our “NORVAL” model.
The computer connection of the Kamino DMX 512 Master is a special
