Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 5-pin XLR output of your Elektralite CP 20 or other
DMX controller. The other end should be connected to the male 5-pin XLR input of the ElektraLite
LED Pro Li n e 1018. Then daisy-chain out of t he first E lektr aLi te LED P ro Lin e 1018 and into the nex t
ElektraLite LED Pro Line 1018 or other dmx device. Never “Y” split the DMX connection.
If you need more cable, then it should be two core, screened cable fitted with a 5 pin XLR input and
output connector. Please refer to the diagram below.
DMX-512 conn ect ion with DM X terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically “noisy”
environment, it is recommended that a DMX terminator is used. This helps prevent corruption of the
digital control signal. The DMX terminator is simply a 5 pin XLR plug (male) with a 120 Ω resistor
connected between pins 2 and 3. It is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last
LED Pro Line 1018 or other dmx device in the chain. Please see illustration below.
