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. Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 100 meters (1640
ft.) Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures
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.
