To connect the data link
1 Connect the controller’s DMX data output to the MAC 600 (E) NT’s data input with a cable such as the one
supplied. Insert a 5-pin to 3-pin adaptor if the controller output has 5 pins. (Pins 4 and 5 are not used.)
2 To continue the link, connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the input of the next fixture.
Note: Martin fixtures introduced before 1997 have reversed polarity data sockets, i.e., pin 2 hot (+) and pin 3 cold (-).
The socket polarity is labelled. Use a phase-reversing cable between the MAC 600 (E) NT (or other DMX-compatible
device) and any Martin device with reversed polarity.

TIPS FOR BUILDING A DATA LINK
• Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit
control data reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft). Heavier
gauge cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs.
• Never use a “Y” connector to split the link. To split the serial link into branches use a splitter such as the
Martin 4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier.
• Do not overload the link. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.
• Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture. The termination
plug, which is a male XLR plug with a 120 ohm, 0.25 watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, “soaks
up” the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference. If a splitter is used, terminate each
branch of the link.
