Connection for operation with DMX controller
1. Connect the DMX input to the DMX output of
the DMX controller.
2. Connect the DMX output to the DMX input of
the next DMX-controlled unit. Connect the
output of this unit to the input of the subse-
quent unit etc. until all DMX-controlled units
have been connected in a chain.
3. To prevent interference in signal transmis-
sion: In case of long cables or a multitude of
units connected in series, terminate the DMX
output of the last DMX unit in the chain with a
120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W): Connect a corre-
sponding terminating plug (e. g. DLT-123
from IMG STAGELINE) to the output jack.
Connection for the master / slave mode
In the master/
slave mode, multiple PARL-
20DMX can be operated synchronously in the
operating mode “Automatic” or “Sound”. The
first unit (master unit) will control the other units
(slave units). Connect the units in a chain, just
like for DMX mode (see above), but do not con-
nect the DMX input of the first unit in the chain.
