Entour Cyclone DMX Information Entour Cyclone DMX Information
Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source volt-
age in your area matches the required voltage for your ADJ Entour
Cyclone. The ADJ Entour Cyclone is available in a 120v and 240v version. Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be
sure your unit voltage matches the wall outlet voltage before attempting to operate you xture.
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures
and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from
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).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of
dierent 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 fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order
in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the
DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned 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 fixture 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 Entour Cyclone can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Entour
Cyclone has 2 DMX channel modes, 1 channel mode and 2 channel
mode. The DMX address is set on the back panel. Your unit and your
DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output (Figure 1). We recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are making
your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120
Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be purchased
at almost all pro lighting stores). Your cables should
be made with a male and female XLR connector on
either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX
cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Figure 1
Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own
cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. 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 behavior.

used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic
behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and
DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last
unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator
(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.

512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX

these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart
below details a proper cable conversion.
