Cable Connectors - afx light MINIWASH718 Manuel D'utilisation

CABLE CONNECTORS

Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.
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 Fixture Linking
1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connecter side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connecter of the first
fixture.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin connecter to the input
connecter of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connecter. Then, proceed to connect from the output as
stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on
Often, the set up for Master-Slave and Stand-alone operation requires that the first fixture in the chain be initialized
for this purpose via either settings in the control panel or DIP-switches. Secondarily, the fixtures that follow may also
require a slave setting. Please consult the '' Operating Instructions» section in this manual for complete instructions
for this type of setup and configuration.
