Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX
device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on
to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain
is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼ W).

When you configure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will control the
other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This function is ideal when
you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the
DMX input of the first slave device. Then connect the DMX output of the first slave device to
the DMX input of the second slave device and so on.

9 Plug and connection assignment
This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equipment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed.
Please take our tips, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if a plug
fits into a socket, the result of an incorrect connection may be a destroyed DMX controller, a
short circuit or ‘just’ a not working light show!
A three-pole coupling in IP65 design is used as DMX output, a three-pole plug in IP65 design is
used as DMX input. The drawing below and the table show the pin assignment of a matching
coupling.

10 Troubleshooting
NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors
For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordinary microphone cables.
Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or amplifiers.
In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation. We give you
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
Troubleshooting

LED PAR
Page 40
Symptom Remedy
The unit does not work, no
light.
Check the mains connection and the fuse.
No response to the DMX controller.
1. Check the DMX ports and cables for proper connection.
2. Check the address settings and the DMX polarity.
3. Try using another DMX controller.
4. Check to see if the DMX cables run near or alongside to
high voltage cables that may cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuits.
If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You
can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.
