Use a shielded twisted-pair cable with two pairs to connect the serial link. Connect all pins
if you want to upgrade the software in crossload. If a microphone cable (or any other cable
with only one pair) is used the software can not be updated via DMX line because pin 4
and 5 are not connected.
Pin assignment
Pin 1 = shield
Pin 2 = data -
Pin 3 = data +
Pin 4 = data out -
Pin 5 = data out +
shielded signal cable
Connect the DMX-out of the control desk to the first Sparx7 in line. (lighting control desk
DMX-Out / Sparx7 DMX-In). Connect the second Sparx7 to the first in line, and so on
(Sparx7 2 DMX-In / Sparx7 1 DMX-Out). All 3-pin and 5-pin connectors are wired parallel.
Do not use this fixture as a DMX splitter!
The DMX-Out of the last unit in line is not occupied unless problems occur. Then use a
termination plug with the last Sparx7 in line.(XLR-connector with a 120 Ohm resistor
soldered between pin 2 and pin 3). Problems might occur when the line is overloaded, e.g.
3.4 Installing a plug on the power cord
