Multiple lights can be daisy chained together, with one serving as the master and the
others configured as slaves to perform whatever actions are performed by the master
unit. The master light can be in any mode except DMX mode, while all the slaves must
be set to SLAV mode to ensure they receive signals from the master unit.
Note: If the daisy chain is longer than 60 meters or if it contains 20 or more light fixtures,
a DMX signal amplifier should be used to ensure that all devices get valid instruction
signals.
Note: The last device in any DMX chain must be terminated using a DMX Terminator.
You can make a DMX terminator by soldering a 120-ohm (1/4 watt) resistor between
pins 2 and 3 of a standard XLR male plug.
3-pin XLR to 5-pin DMX Conversion
While most DMX compatible eq ui pm ent us es 3-pin XLR connectors, some devices use
the official 5-pin DMX connector. To make a 3-pin to 5-pin converter simply make a
cable with a 3-pin X LR conn ector on one end and a 5-pin DMX connector on the other.
Connect the pins as follows:
