DMX CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS
There are two different connectors generally used for
DMX control. They are both XLR type connectors.
Some units use 3 pin connectors. Others use 5 pin. The
FXLD1018FRP5I has both. DMX can be received on
either the 3 pin or 5 pin MALE male connector on the
back of the unit. The 3 and 5 pin FEMALE connectors
are used to connect to the next DMX device on the
control chain.
The table below shows the pin assignments for BOTH
the 3 pin and 5 pin connectors.
DMX TERMINATION
A DMX chain should be terminated at the last
receiving device on the chain. This is done by
installing a commonly available 1/4 Watt, 120 Ohm
resistor across the DATA - and DATA + wires at the
last device. If you have only a few fixtures very close
together and a very short run to the controller then you
may be able to operate without the terminator.
OPERATION
A control panel on the back of the unit is used to set
the operating options. It consists of an LED display
and four buttons
(MENU, UP, DOWN, and ENTER)
Push MENU to access the operating options. When
you reach the option you want to set or change - use
UP or DOWN to set a value. Push
ENTER to save your
changes and activate the option. See the "MENU
NAVIGATION" diagram for additional details.
There are 6 operation modes: DMX, Color Fade, Color
Change, Color Select, Demo, and Slave.
DMX OPERATION
For DMX operation the FXLD1018FRP5I fixture can
be configured as a 5 channel , or 9 channel unit.
Use the
dxxx (5 ch) or d.xxx (9 ch) menu to set the

address of the unit with the UP and DOWN buttons.
Detailed information on DMX channel operation is
given in the tables
