Colorverse® fixtures operate on “PIN 3 positive polarity” (refer to the diagram above). If your fixtures are not working
or operating erratically, it is possible your controller’s polarity switch is not set correctly. Refer to the operation manual
of your controller for more information about this issue. It a good idea to place a small piece of tape over the switch to
prevent accidental change to the polarity during transport or operation.
Polarity switch commonly found on hardware-based controllers. Set to “Pin 3 positive” setting.
DMX fixtures are always wired in a ‘series’ style wiring chain. Using a DMX signal cable, t
In a typical DMX chain you can install up to 16 fixtures. Connecting more than 16 fixtures in a single chain will
increase the likelihood of data errors (due to signal degradation along the chain). For lighting shows larger than 16
fixtures, you should create multiple chains using a ‘DMX optical splitter’ or use wireless transmitter/receivers. Either
method will allow you to create multiple chains and maintain a clean error-free signal path in your DMX lightning
network.
Maximum length of DMX signal cabling per
chain should not exceed 200 ft.

Always use a DMX terminator on the last fixture in the chain.
