elektraLite Dazer RGB - Manual (Page 4)

5. DMX-512 Control Connection
Connect an XLR cable to the female 5-pin XLR output of your Elektralite CP 20 or other DMX controller. The other end
should be connected to the male 5-pin XLR input of the Elektralite LED Pro LineRGB Dazer. Then daisy-chain out of the first
Elektralite LED Pro Line RGB Dazer into the next Elektralite LED Pro Line RGB 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 RGB Dazer or other dmx device in the chain. Please see illustration below.
