DMX-512 CONNECTION
If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the
first unit in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
5-pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be
implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used.
The chart below details a proper cable conversion.
At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) into a 3-pin
XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last fixture in the chain.
MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION
Master/slave operation
Fixtures in Show Mode can be linked in a chain and set to master/slave operation, where one master fixture running a
standalone show controls the behavior of slave fixtures. Two slave modes are available:
• Fixtures in Slave 1 mode copy the master.
• Fixtures in Slave 2 mode are synchronized with the master but have slight variations in behavior.
You must set all the fixtures except one as slaves. If you set more than one fixture in the chain to act as master, you may cause
damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
To operate fixtures in master/slave mode:
1. Link fixtures in a chain, using DMX cable to connect one fixture’s DMX OUT socket to the next fixture’s DMX IN socket.
2. In the MASTER SLAVE menu, set one fixture to MASTER and set all the other fixtures to SLAVE 1 or SLAVE 2.
3. Set the master fixture in the chain to run one of its four standalone shows.
4. Set all the fixtures in the chain to Slave 1 or slave 2.
