DMX-512 Link Wiring
Connect the DMX link terminals on the QSE-CI-DMX interface to input terminals on DMX512-controlled equipment.
• Each terminal on the QSE-CI-DMX accepts two 18 AWG (1.0 mm
• DMX Link must be 1000 ft (305 m) or less.
• DMX Link must be daisy-chained (no T-taps).
• Use a DMX standard-approved cable (available from Lutron, PN GRX-CBL-DMX).
• Link must begin and end with link terminators (available from Lutron, PN LT-1).
Note: Some DMX devices may provide link terminators. Refer to device instructions.

Note: The DMX link is noise prone and its protocol has no error proofing. For best performance, keep DMX cable wiring away from
potential noise sources.
