Connections
The DMX512-PX-V2 decoder has 3-pin XLR connector ports (Figure 1) and screw terminal blocks
(Figure 2) for DMX IN and DMX OUT signals. Use only one DMX input port or connection
method at a time. If possible, use the 3-pin XLR connector ports in Figure 1 below, as this is a more
secure connection.
When using XLR connectors for DMX I/O connectivity, the DMX512-PX-V2 is compatible with
standard 3 or 5-pin DMX outputs from a DMX console, as long as the end connecting to the
decoder is a 3-pin female/male XLR. The decoder simply ignores the audio data from the 2 extra
pins if the signal is coming from a 5-pin DMX output.

The screw terminal blocks can be used as an alternate method for DMX I/O connectivity where A=
DATA+, B=DATA-, and G= GND. Use only one DMX512 input port or connection method at a
time.
