The DMX cable must use the professional shielded twisted pair cable. Standard loudspeaker cable is
not reliable to control the long-range data. 24AWG cable is suitable for up to 300 meters long-distance
signal transmission; for longer distances, a DMX 512 signal amplifier should be used.
Don't overload the connection. One continuous connection can only support up to 30 devices. It is
advisable to use a DMX splitter in order to distribute the signal without losing its integrity.
Connect the DMX512 input terminal to the controller. After that, connect the output terminal to the
next device. Repeat this step with all fixtures in the chain. To prevent system errors, the last device in a
DMX chain needs to be equipped with a terminating resistor (120 ohm, 1/4 Watt).
Pin occupation
Pin 1: Ground
Pin 2: Pin -
Pin 3: Pin +
To connect more than one unit in a chain, please, follow this picture. The output of the first unit must
provide to the next DMX input of the signal, this way it is possible to send the signal to all the devices
in the chain.
