DMX-512 connection

If you use a controller with a 5 pinDMX output connector, youwill need to use a 5 to3 pin adapter. Chauvet Model No: DMX5M

The last unit on the DMX chain should be terminated with a terminator. Solder a120-ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last unit.

Connect the units together in a “daisy chain” fashion by connecting an XLR plug from the output of the unitto the input of the next unit. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y” cable. DMX512 contains a high-speedsignal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily distort thesignal and shut down the system.

Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller.Fixtures are addressable between 1 and512. Refer toSection3.3DMX addressing for further instructions.

XLR Configuration:

3pin XLR:Pin 1: GND,Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3:Positivesignal (+)

5 pin XLR:Pin 1: GND,Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3:Positivesignal (+)
