6. DMX Connections
!DMX Cable：
The MicroPar HEX 7 can be controlled via DMX using a 3-pin XLR connection. The
standard DMX connection is XLR is: one end connects to the male plug, and the other
connects to the female. As below: pin 1: ground, pin 2: negative signal, pin 3: positive signal
Noted：In order to avoid failures and interference signal transmission，we connect a
resistance120Ω（1/4W ）at the end of the DMX connecting as below:
!The Conversion between 3 pin and 5 pin XLR
If the output cable of DMX512 controller is the 5PIN, please use 1pc 5PIN to 3PIN cable

7. Master/Slave Mode Operation
Master/Slave
Master/Slave mode allows you to connect multiple units together using one (1) unit to control
others in a chain. When a fixture is set to ‘Master Mode,’ this unit will always act as a
controlling unit until it is switched out of ‘Master Mode’. The Master unit will send out signal
via DMX to Slave units which will react in synchronization. When a fixture is set into ‘Slave
Mode’, this fixture will receive the Master signal. To ensure a fixture is in ‘Slave Mode’ the
fixture’s display must read “SLAV”. To avoid master signal and DMX signal interference, do
not connect DMX when using Master/Slave mode. If using a DMX run longer than 60 meters
and/or over 32 units, a signal amplifier may be required.
