Controlling RGB PixelControl LED Lights with Multiple Decoders
If your installation calls for daisy-chaining decoders, use a XLR 3-pin male to 3-pin female to
connect to the next decoder (cable not included). See wiring diagram for details on how to daisy
chain the decoders.
Daisy Chain Wiring
If the installation calls for daisy-chaining decoders, follow the example below as a guideline on how
to set the DIP switch settings. Link multiple decoders using a 3-pin to 3-pin XLR cable.
Example: Creating an installation using three chains of RGB PixelControl Super Flat Rope and
three decoders.
Each chain contains 50 pixels and requires (50x3) = 150 addresses to individually control the RGB
colors of each pixel, so the DIP switch settings will be as follows. The actual corresponding
addresses are listed in the Comment column.

DIP Switch Settings
*Note: DIP switch 10 should always be “off” when in DMX mode. Keep signal lines away from
power lines to avoid inductive coupling and signal corruption.
