a. DMX512 Connection
Connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR
input of the VDP250SC8M2. Multiple VDP250SC8M2s can be linked through serial linking. The linking cable should
be a two-core screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.

c. DMX512 Chain with Termination
d. Control Panel and LCD Menu
Switch the device on and off by connecting it with the mains using the power plug.

VDP250SC8M2_v2
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a
long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator
prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is
simply an XLR plug with a 120 resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into
the XLR output socket of the last device in the chain.
