DMX512 Chain with Termination
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long
distance or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents
corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR
plug with a 120 N resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output
socket of the last device in the chain.
DMX Start Address Selection
All DMXDcontrolled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to
the signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to
“listen” to the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of
devices or an individual address can be set for every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
In case of the 1Dchannel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1), the second to 2 (CH2), the third to 3 (CH3), and so on. The highest start address
is 512.
Enter the correct number through the DIPDswitches located on the backside of the device.
