FONESTAR DMX-83 Manual De Instrucciones página 11

- To connect several devices controlled by DMX-512, you must interconnect them using XLR cables with the
following configuration.
- It is possible to cascade several devices in order to operate them together or separately. For the first
element in the chain, use an XLR cable to connect the device's DMX IN to the DMX OUT of the DMX
controller. Use an XLR cable to connect the device's DMX OUT to the first element and the DMX IN of the
second element, and so on.
Below is an example of the connection of several devices to be controlled in the different DMX addresses.
Several devices could be configured for the same address or for different addresses in order to be
controlled by the same or by different SCANNERS.
- The complete length of cable used to interconnect the devices in a line must not exceed 100 meters. To
prevent line interference, it is recommended that an electric terminator consisting of 120 Ω resistor be
placed at the last element in the chain between pins 2 and 3 of the XLR DMX OUT connector of the last
element. See figure below:
- Connect the devices to the power supply and switch them on.
