FIXTURE LINKING
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run
synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of
channels required by all fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures that the data link can
support.
Important: Fixtures on a serial/data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
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 errat-
ically. 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.
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 connector of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the first
fixture.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the
input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then, proceed to connect from the
output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on
3. 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.
