elektraLite Dazer Theatrical White - 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 Theatrical White Dazer . Then
daisy-chain out of the first Elektralite Theatrical White Dazer and into the next Elektralite Theatrical White 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 Theatrical White Dazer or other dmx device in the chain. Please see
illustration below.
