DMX-512 Connection
This fixture is equipped with an electronic power supply that will let the unit operate from 90V to 240V from 50Hz to
The fixture is equipped with 3 and 5 pin XLR Sockets for DMX input and output. The sockets are wired in parallel. Only
use a shielded twisted pair cable designed for RS-485 and 5 pin XLR plugs and connectors in order to connect the con-
troller with the fixture or the fixture with another.
Caution!
At the last fixture the DMX signal needs to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a
120 Ohm resistor between the (-) and the (+) signal into a 3 pin XLR plug and plug it
in to the last fixture on the signal run. Pre-manufactured terminator plugs are availa-
ble for purchase from your Mega-Lite dealer (P-DMXT).
