DMX-512 control connection
Connect the provided 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 moving head. You can chain multiple
Moving head together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened
cable with XLR input and output connectors. 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,
such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption of
the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor
connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the
chain. Please see illustrations below.
