“First” Power Cable – A special power “First” cable is included with every fixture. This
cables is used to provide power to your fixture. This cable comes with the IP rated twist lock
connector on one end and a standard Edison 3-prong, grounded prong on the other end. Be
sure to only use this cable for power distribution and never attempt to connect this cable to
the DMX lines.
You can chain multiple fixtures together through serial linking. Using the IP rated signal
cables provided through Elation. Always be sure to daisy-chain your in and out data
connections, never split or “Y” your DMX connections unless you are using an approved
DMX splitter such as the Elation Opto Branch 4™ or DMX Branch/4™.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
A DMX terminator should be used in all DMX lines especially in longer runs. The use of a
terminator may avoid erratic behavior in your DMX line. A terminator is a 120 ohm 1/4 watt
resistor that is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA
-). This fixture is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last fixture in your daisy chain
to terminate the line. Using a line terminator (Elation part: DMX T PACK) will decrease the
possibilities of erratic behavior.
