split to a `Y` cable. DMX 512 is a very high-speed
signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered
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 one
of the units' power is disconnected.
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 termi-
nated to reduce signal errors.
7. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5
pin XLR.

Address Setting
If you use a universal DMX controller to control the
units, you have to set DMX address from 1 to 512 so
that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press MENU button to enter menu mode, select DMX
Functions, press the ENTER button to confirm, use
the UP/DOWN button to select DMX Address, press
the ENTER button to confirm, the present address
will blink on the display, use the UP/DOWN button
to adjust the address from 001 to 512, and press the
ENTER button to store. Press the MENU button back
to the last menu or let the unit idle 7 seconds to exit
menu mode.
