Linking
When using multiple Onset 120WW fixtures, you can link ("daisy-chain") them so that each each
fixture supplies power and/or sends DMX data to the next one. This helps reduce clutter in your
cabling and save you setup time.
You do not have to link fixtures for both power and DMX control; you can link them for either
purpose independently. For instance, you could link 20 fixtures together for DMX control while linking
only 10 of those same fixtures together for power (powering the other 3 fixtures separately).
Power
Use a standard IEC power cable to connect the Power Out of one fixture to the Power In of another.
As long as the first fixture is connected to a power outlet, any of the linked fixtures can remain off
and still supply power to the next one.
Important: To prevent undue damage to your fuses, we recommend linking no more than 10 fixtures
in the same chain.

DMX
Use a standard 3-pin XLR cable to connect the DMX Out of one fixture to the DMX In of another.
Your connected DMX controller will send its data to the fixtures in sequence. All fixtures in this chain
will receive all DMX data.
According to the DMX standard, you can link up to 32 fixtures with up to 300 feet (91 meters)
between each fixture, without amplification. Keep in mind the number of channels you are using as
well as the starting address.
