The fixture’s mains lead may require a grounding-type cord cap that fits your power
distribution cable or outlet. Consult a qualified electrician if you have any doubts about
proper installation.
WARNNING: For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must be
grounded (earthed). The AC mains power supply shall have overload
and ground-fault protection.
CAUTION: Verify that the feed cables are undamaged and rated for the current
requirements of all connected devices before use.
Following the cord cap manufacturer's instructions, connect the yellow and green wire to

2.2 Understanding DMX
A. About DMX
DMX is the abbreviation of Digital Multiplex. It’s a universal protocol used by most audio,
lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication between fixtures and
controllers. A DMX controller sends out DMX data instructions to the fixtures via 5-pin XLR
cables. The data travels through the DMX chain as a serial data.
DMX is a kind of "common language" allowing all products of different manufactures to be
linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the
controller are DMX compatible. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using
several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible.
B. DMX Cable Requirements:
Your fixture, LEDPAR64 uses 3-pin XLR cable as connection media.
C. Connection of DMX
Connect the DMX XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the
other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the fixture (please refer to the figure below). You
