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: 500 meters (1640 ft.)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must use data cables. If you choose to create
your own cable, please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality
signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.
CABLE CONNECTORS
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector
on the other end.
DMX connector configuration
Resistance 120 ohm 1/ 4w between pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last
fixture
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:
3 PIN TO 5 PIN CONVERSION CHART
| Conductor | 3 Pin Female (output) | 5 Pin Male (Input) |
|---|---|---|
| Ground/Shield | Pin 1 | Pin1 |
| Data (-) signal | Pin 2 | Pin 2 |
| Data (+) signal | Pin 3 | Pin 3 |
| Do not use | Do not use | |
| Do not use | Do not use |
Setting up a DMX Serial Data Link
- Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the controller.
- 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.
- Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
Master/Slave Fixture Linking
- Connect the (male) 3 pin connecter side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connecter of the first fixture.
- 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.
