Data Linking

The fuse is located inside this compartment. Remove using a flat- head screwdriver.

You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support.

This fixture uses 9 channels of DMX control.

Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the EIA-485 standard no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.

Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 meters (1,640 ft.)

Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures

DMX Linking

1.Connect the (male) 3-pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3-pin connector of the first fixture.

2.Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3-pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3-pin connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
