c. Connect DMX512 cable from console or splitter. Remember to terminate the last device
in any DMX512 line.
d. Connect AC cable (a Series 200 connector to male power plug), which will come from a
non-dim circuit or other non-voltage-controlled source.
Step 11. Connect Signals to Racks
a. Set up console and run the control snake.
b. Plug DMX512 cables (one per universe) into the console and run them to the first
DMX512 unit in line; this first device can be a DMX512 splitter, which takes one
DMX512 universe in and outputs it multiple times. Or, the DMX512 cable can run
directly to the dimmers and can continue on to other devices from there.
Step 12. Perform final inspection.
Ensure that all components are securely connected and that safety cables have been
installed. Ensure that cabling is routed safely.
Step 13. Perform system checkout and troubleshooting.
