running over RS485. Consult USITT DMX installation guidelines when laying out a system, or consult
a qualified DMX system integrator.
Note that DMX is optional – in many applications it is not required, and need not be connected. For
more information, see DEC3 Operating Modes in the next section.
DMX IN – Connect incoming DMX to the 2-part 3-pin terminal on the DEC3 control circuit
board so labeled.
