If you are using a controller with an XLR 5-pin DMX output, you will need to purchase
an XLR 5-pin/3-pin adaptor.
On the last device in the DMX chain, it is advisable to use a "DMX plug". (a 120 Ohm
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 must 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 so that it can be controlled by the DMX
controller. (see table above).
