DMX512 connection
The fixture is equipped with 3-pin or 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 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in
order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

DMX Linking: To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the
shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the
DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line,
at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the
DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX
chain.
