DMX-512 CONNECTION BETWEEN FIXTURES
The fixture is equipped with 3-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The sockets are wired in
parallel. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to
connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
OCCUPATION OF THE XLR-CONNECTION

BUILDING A SERIAL DMX-CHAIN
Master / slave no controller
Set the master unit to desired effect, use the menu button, followed by the up and down buttons to select desired
master effect.
For example:
ASr
Auto mixed Slow laser effect with random order with manual control of led wash effect
Then press the enter button to confirm selection
To set slave unit
Use the menu button and the up/down button to select “SLA”
Press the enter button to confirm selection.
Both units will now react the same (only one master unit should be set as master all other units to be set as slave)
Using DMX controller
Each fixture needs to have a DMX start address to receive the data from the controller. The DMX address number,
which could be read from rear panel of each fixture and is between 000~511. Each unit uses 8 DMX channels.
If all units connected are to be controlled exactly the same, each unit must have the DMX start address set the same.
For example, set all units to channel 001.
Use the menu button and then the up/down buttons to select the desired DMX start address, press enter to confirm
your selection
Use a DMX cable to link the units together via the DMX in/out sockets on the rear panel. See above diagram.
Individual Control
To have DMX control over individual units each unit will need an individual start address. Each unit uses 8 DMX
channels.
As before using the menu button then up/down set the desired DMX address. For example, unit 1 set to 001 unit 2 set
to 009 etc. Adding 8 channels each time. Make sure no channels overlap.
Use a DMX cable to link the units together via the DMX in/out sockets on the rear panel. See above diagram
