DMX-512:

• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent

xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the xture.

DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT”

XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal).

DMX Linking:

• DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and

operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure

proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the shortest cable path

possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not inuence the DMX

addressing. For example; a xture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX

line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a xture is assigned a DMX address

of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is

located in the DMX chain.

DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):

• The Equinox Lightning Strike 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 (gure 1).

Figure 1

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Equinox Lightning Strike DMX Set Up

Notice:

• Be sure to follow gures 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 3-pin, CABL89 5-pin) 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 xtures 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.
