6. DMX512 Connections
The DMX512 protocol is used widely in intelligent lighting control, with a
maximumof512channels.
1. Ifyourcontrollerhasa5-pinDMXoutput,youneedtousea5-pinto3-pin
adapter cable.
2. Linkthexturestogetherina“daisychain”byconnectingXLRcablesfrom
 theoutputofthexturetotheinputofthenextxture.Thecablecannotbe
 branchedorsplittoa“Y”cable.Inadequateordamagedcables,soldered
joints, or corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down
the system
3. TheDMXoutputandinputconnectorsarepass-throughtomaintaintheDMX
circuit when one of the units’ power is disconnected.
4. Atthelastxture,theDMXcableshouldbeterminatedtoreducesignal 
 errors.Soldera120ohm1/4WresistorbetweenPin2(DMX-)andPin3
 (DMX+)intoa3-pinXLRplugandconnectittothelastxture’sDMXoutput.
5. Each lighting xture must have its address set to receive data sent by
the controller. The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are
equal to 1). Please refer to “4.2 Main Function” above.
6. 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4/5:Notused.
7. Troubleshooting
Followingareafewcommonproblemsthatmayoccurduringoperation.Here
aresomesuggestionsforeasytroubleshooting:
A. The xture does not work, no light
1. Checktheconnectionofpowerandmainsfuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors and cables to
verify they are linked properly.
2. If the DMX LED is on and the channel does not respond, check the
address settings and DMX polarity.
3. IfyouhaveintermittentDMXsignalproblems,checkthecableandxture
connectors for proper function.
4. TrytouseanotherDMXcontrollerforcomparison.
5. CheckiftheDMXcablesarerunnearoralongsidehighvoltagecables
that may cause interference to the DMX interface circuit.
C. Some xtures don’t respond to the controller
1. YoumayhaveabreakintheDMXcabling.ChecktheLEDforthe 
response of the master/ slave mode signal.
2. WrongDMXaddressinthexture.Settheproperaddress.
D. No response to sound
1. MakesurethexturedoesnotreceiveDMXsignal.
2. Checkmicrophonetoseeifitisgoodbytappingthemicrophone.
8. Fixture Cleaning
Cleanwithsoftclothusingaverymildhouseholddetergent.Alwaysdrythe
parts carefully.

3. Installation
Theunitshouldbemounted viatheholesonitsbracket,andmustbexed
rmlytoavoidvibrationandslippageduringoperation.Alwaysensurethatthe
structuretowhichyouareattachingthelightingxtureissecureandableto
support10timestheunit’sweight.Wheninstallingthexture,useasafetycable
that can hold 12 times the weight of the unit.

4.1 Control Panel
5. DMX512 Conguration
NOTE: When used in multiples, the LP12LED’s strobe and fade speed functions
willsynchronizewithadditionalLP12LEDxtures.Duetoslightvariationsthat
existbetween other manufacturers’control protocols,an LP12LED may not
be100%compatiblewithallmodelsorbrandsof5-channellightingdevices.
