4. DMX mode (DMX connection)
If you are using a controller with a 5-pin XLR DMX output, you need to get an XLR 5-
pin/3-pin adapter.
On the last device of the DMX chain, it is recommended to use a "DMX plug". (a 120
Ohms 1/4W resistor between pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) placed in a male DMX
connector).
Connect the fixtures one after the other: DMX output to DMX input of the next fixture.
The DMX cable should NEVER be a "Y" cable. The DMX-512 link carries a high speed
signal. The cables used for this link must be of good quality and in good condition.
Each fixture must have a specific DMX address in order to be controlled by the DMX
controller. (see table above).
