If additional cable needs to be made up then two-core cable with a screen needs to be purchased. For wiring please see
the diagram below.
DMX has a maximum running distance of 330 feet. When long distances are involved then there is a tendency for
electrical noise to be evident. In that case, a DMX terminator will be required. The terminator helps prevent corruption of
the DMX signal. To make a DMX terminator simply solder a 120 ohm resistor across pins 2 and 3 of an XLR male
connector. Then place that connector at the very end of the DMX cable run. In other words, at the last Elektralite fixture.
It maybe the case that you will need to connect a 5 pin XLR to the 3 pin XLR. In a normal DMX wiring configuration, the 5
pin is soldered identically to the 3 pin. So in the 5 pin
1: Ground
2: Signal (-)
3: Signal (+)
Pins 4 and 5 are not used. Be very sure you read the pin numbering on the connector when you solder up the connector.
Do not just wire up the three pins to the left or right because the male and female connector has the pins on different
“sides” of the connector! Read the pin numbers.
