mains power. Do not connect any device to the fixture’s
MAINS OUT power throughput socket when using this input
cable. If you want to connect other fixtures to the MAINS
OUT socket, see ‘Linking fixtures to power in a chain’ on
page 13.
For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded
(earthed). The power distribution circuit must be equipped with a
fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the
fixture with power must be located near the fixture and easily
accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected from
power.
Do not insert or remove live Neutrik PowerCon connectors to apply or cut
power, as this may cause arcing at the terminals that will damage the
connectors.
Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the fixture, as this
may cause damage to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.
The fixture can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to
install it permanently, or a power plug (not supplied) that is suitable for the
local power outlets can be installed on the power cable.
If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding type
(earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated minimum 250 V, 6 A. Follow
the plug manufacturer’s instructions and connect the wires in the power cable
as shown in this table:
Live or L Neutral or N Earth, Ground or

3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets are provided for DMX input and output
(throughput).
5 - Fuse
The T 6.3 A fixture fuse is located in a fuseholder next to the power
input/output connectors.
6 - Mains power input
A blue Neutrik PowerCon socket is provided to connect the fixture to AC mains
power.
7 - Mains power throughput
See ‘Safety information’ on page 4. The light-grey Neutrik PowerCon socket
can be used to supply power to other fixtures only if the power input cable is

Control data link
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX. The
fixture has 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output.
The number of daisy-chained fixtures is limited by the number of DMX
channels required by the fixtures in relation to the maximum 512 channels
available in one DMX universe. Note that if independent control of a fixture is
required, it must have its own DMX channels. Fixtures that are required to
behave identically can share the same DMX address and channels. To add
more fixtures or groups of fixtures when the above limit is reached, add a DMX
universe and another daisy-chained link.

RUSH MH 1 Profile User Manual 15
Tips for reliable data transmission
Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard
microphone cable cannot transmit control data reliably over long runs. 24
AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.). Heavier gauge
cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs. The pin-out on all
connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+). Pins 4 and 5
in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used in the fixture but are available for
possible additional data signals as required by the DMX512-A standard.
Standard pin-out is pin 4 = data 2 cold (-) and pin 5 = data 2 hot (+).
To split the link into branches, use a splitter such as the Martin 4-Channel
Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier. Terminate the link by installing a DMX
termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture. The termination plug,
which is a male XLR plug with a 120 Ohm, 0.25 W resistor soldered between
pins 2 and 3, “soaks up” the control signal so it does not reflect and cause
interference. If a splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.
Connecting the DMX data link
To connect the fixture to data:
1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the first fixture’s male
XLR DMX input connector.
2. Connect the first fixture’s DMX output to the DMX input of the next fixture
and continue connecting fixtures output to input. Terminate the last fixture
on the link with a DMX termination plug.

DMX function settings
DMX function settings include the DMX address and a DMX value viewer.
DMX addressing
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to
receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture can be controlled using
signals sent by a DMX controller over 17 channels. Each DMX controlled
fixture must have a DMX address set. For example, if a fixture has a DMX
address of 10, then it uses channels 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,
21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26. The following fixture in the DMX chain could then be
set to a DMX address of 27.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control
channels. Two fixtures of the same type may share the same address, if
identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic
purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse
pan and tilt options.
