6.3 Universal DMX controller

When using a universal DMX controller to control the chain of units, you have to set DMX

address by Dip switches from 1 to 9 to make sure all the units will receive its DMX signal.

Please refer to the following diagram to know how to address your DMX 512 system in the

binary code.

7. DMX 512 Connection

The DMX 512 is widely used in intelligent lightings and with a maximum of 512 channels.

1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin

adapter-cable.

2. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120

ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug

and plug it in the DMX-output of the last unit.

3. Connect the unit together in a 'daisy chain' by XLR plug from the output of the unit

to the input of the next unit. The cable can not be branched or split to a 'Y' cable.

DMX 512 is a very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, solder

joints or corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the

system.

4. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX

circuit, when power is disconnected to the unit.

5. Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the

controller. The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).

6. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.

7. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.

3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)

5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal
