·5-pin shielded cable with a diameter not less than 0.3mm must be used for connection between light fixture and DMX/RDM console, or between light fixture and light fixture. XLR plug/socket and the cable should be connected as shown above.
·Pin1, Pin2, Pin3 for connecting DMX signal. Pin4, Pin5 have no connection. NOTE: When connecting DMX, make sure the internal pin is not in contact with the inner case, and pins should
not be in contact with each other. The fixture can match the DMX512 (1990) control signal. ·5-pin and 3-pin XLR plug/socket conversion ·The fixture comes with 5-pin XLR plug/socket. lf a 3-pin XLR plug is used, please follow the instruction below.
