Occupation of the XLR-connection:
If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly
with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other
XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120
 resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
You can control the devices individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different
occupation with different features.
5.7 Addressing
Each device occupies 9 channels. To ensure that the control signals are properly directed to each device,
the device requires addressing. This is to be adjusted for every single device by changing the DIP-switches
as set out in the table below.
The starting address is defined as the first channel from which the device will respond to the controller.
Please make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each device correctly
and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more devices are addressed
similarly, they will work similarly.
Occupation of the DIP-switches:
Controlling:
After having addressed all devices, you may now start operating these via your controller.
