4.6 DMX 512 connection, master/slave connection
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise
the xtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the xture or one xture
with another.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-socket: XLR mounting-plug:
Building a serial DMX-chain:
If you are using the standard controllers, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly with the DMX-input of the rst xture
in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Connect the DMX-output of the rst xture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next xture. Always connect output with the
input of the next xture until all xtures are connected.
Caution: At the last xture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between Signal (–) and
Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last xture.
Building a master/slave-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the master xture in the data-chain with the DMX-input of the rst slave. Always connect output with the
input of the next slave until all slaves are connected (up to 9 xtures).
Caution:It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) into the input of the master xture and into the output of
the last slave xture in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.
