DMX-512:
• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent
fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the fixture.
DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR
terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal).
DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
• The Equinox Domin8R can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of
the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input/output
(figure 1).
Figure 1
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
Further DMX cables can be purchased from
all good sound and lighting suppliers or
Prolight dealers.

Equinox Domin8R DMX Set up
Notice:
• Be sure to follow figures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. Do not connect the cable’s shield
conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing.
Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.
Special Note: Line termination:
• When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to
avoid erratic behaviour.
Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90) will decrease the possibilities of
erratic behaviour.
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:
• Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-Pin
XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin
XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The Chart below details the
correct cable conversion.
Termination reduces signal transmission problems
and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a
DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between
pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.
