1. If you are using a controller with a 3 pin DMX output, you need to use a 3 to 5 pin

14
adapter-cable.
2. In the 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 last unit.
3. Connect the unit together in a `daisy chain` with the XLR plug from the output of the unit
to the input of the next unit. The cable can not branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX 512
is a very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, Bad soldered joints or
corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
4. The DMX output and input connectors pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when
power is disconnected to the unit.
5. Each 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).
6. 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 (+)
Pin 4/5: Not used.

Cleaning
The cleaning of internal and external optical lens and/or mirrors 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 s 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 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least
every 30/60 days.
