DMX connector configuration
Termination reduces signal errors. To avoid signal transmission problems and interference, it is always advisable to
connect a DMX signal terminator.
CAUTION
Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture's chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause a
ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to check correct polarity and
to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
3-PIN TO 5-PIN CONVERSION CHART
Note! If you use a controller with a 5-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter.
The chart below details a proper cable conversion:

Setting up a DMX Serial Data Link
1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the controller.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the controller which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the input
connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector.
3. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
Master/Slave Set Up
This function will allow you to link up to 16 units
together and operate without a controller. In a
Master-Slave set up one unit will act as the
controlling unit and the others will react to the
controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a
Master or as a Slave.
1. Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain
your units together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember the Male XLR connector is the input
and the Female XLR connector is the output. The first unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connector
only - The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator
at the last fixture.
2. On the Master unit press the MENU button until "SLND" is displayed, and press ENTER. Use the UP and DOWN
buttons to scroll to the "MAST" setting and press ENTER.
3. After setting the Master unit to the master setting find your desired operating mode.
4. On the slave units press the MENU button until "SLND" is displayed, and press ENTER. Choose either "SL 1" or "SL
