Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation):
Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data
input and data output (Figure Below). If you are making your own cables, be sure to
use standard two conductor shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all
professional sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male and
female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable must
be daisy chained and can not be split.
Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not use the ground
lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug
or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding
the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
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.
