5. CONTROL BY UNIVERSAL DMX CONTROLLER
5.1 DMX512 Connection
1. DMX Cable Termination: At the last unit, the DMX cable must 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. Then, plug it into the DMX
output of the last unit.
2. Connection Method: Connect the units together in a “daisy chain” using XLR plug cables. Connect the output
of one unit to the input of the next unit. Do not branch or split the cable to create a “Y” cable. DMX 512 is a
high-speed signal, and using inadequate, damaged cables, soldered joints, or corroded connectors can distort
the signal and cause system shutdown.
3. Pass-Through Connectors: The DMX output and input connectors act as pass-through to maintain the DMX
circuit even when the power of one of the units is disconnected.
4. DMX Addressing: Each lighting unit requires a unique DMX address to receive data from the controller. The
address number typically ranges between 0 and 511 (commonly, 0 and 1 are equivalent to 1).
5. Termination for Signal Quality: Terminate the end of the DMX 512 system to reduce signal errors and ensure
proper signal quality.
6. XLR Connector Types: 3-pin XLR connectors are more widely used than 5-pin XLR connectors.
• 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 and Pin 5 are not used.

5.2 Address Setting
If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set the DMX address from 1 to 512 so that
the units can receive the DMX signal.
Press the MENU button to enter menu mode, select DMX Functions, press the ENTER button to conrm, use
the UP/DOWN button to select DMX Address, and press the ENTER button to conrm, the present address will
blink the display, use the UP/DOWN button to adjust the address from 001 to 512, press the ENTER button to
store.
To return to the previous menu, press the MENU button, or let the unit idle for one minute to exit menu mode.
