elektraLite Cool White Dazer - Manual (Page 4)

5. DMX-512 Control Connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 5-pin XLR output of the Elektralite CP 16/24 or other
DMX controller. The other end should be connected to the male 5-pin XLR input of the Elektralite CW
Dazer . Then daisy-chain out of the first Elektralite CW Dazer and into the next Elektralite CW Dazer
or other dmx device. Never “Y” split the DMX connection.
If you need more cable, then it should be two core, screened cable fitted with a 5 pin XLR input and
output connector. Please refer to the diagram below.

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically “noisy”
environment, it is recommended that a DMX terminator is used. This helps prevent corruption of the
digital control signal. The DMX terminator is simply a 5 pin XLR plug (male) with a 120 Ω resistor
connected between pins 2 and 3. It is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last Elektralite
CW Dazer or other dmx device in the chain. Please see illustration below.
