Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller
with the xture or one xture with another.
BUILDING A SERIAL MASTER-SLAVE / DMX-CHAIN
For Master-slave connection, you need to set a device as the Master device. All other devices will be the
slave devices.
Connect the DMX-output of the rst device (Master) in the chain with the DMX-input of the second
device (the rst slave device). Connect the DMX-output of the second device (the rst slave device) with
the DMX-input of the third device (the second slave device). Always connect one output with the input of
the next device until all devices are connected.
Caution: At the last xture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120Ω resistor
between Signal (-) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last xture.
