Multiple fixtures can be operated simultaneously without a control board by connecting each
fixture with DMX control cable and setting one fixture as “Master” and the others as “Slave”.
The “Master” fixture will then synchronize with the “Slave” units.
To use this feature, make sure there is nothing plugged into the “DMX IN” on the fixture
“Master”. Daisy-chain from the “Master” “DMX OUT” to the “Slave” fixtures. Set the DMX
address on every “Slave” unit to A001. Only one light within a group can serve as “Master”.
If the length of DMX data cables extend more than 180’ or there are more than 20 fixtures
being used as “Slaves”, the DMX signal will need to be boosted.
Connecting Fixtures
XLR cable
Using 3-Pin XLR data cable, connect the male end to your console, and the female end to the
“DMX IN” connector on your fixture. Using additional data cable, you can connect a string of
fixtures by feeding from “DMX OUT” on one fixture to “DMX IN” on each additional fixture in
the chain.
DMX signal must “daisy-chain”. The use of a “Y” adapter to split the signal will cause the
fixtures to function incorrectly.
If the DMX 512 output on your control board has a 5-pin DMX connector, you will need a
“5-pin male to 3-pin female DMX adapter” between your console and the first fixture.
