Auto Terminate Feature
The Tegra 4Bank DMX series have an
“
AUTO TERMINATE” feature. The last fixture
that does not have an XLR cable attached to the
DMX “Out” port will automatically terminate.
Any theatrical lighting board with DMX512 protocol can be used to individu-
ally turn on/off lamps in a fixture. Tegra 4Bank DMX fixtures can be jumpered
using the IN and OUT ports. As many as 100 fixtures can be jumpered on one
chain as long as the DMX cable run remains under 1000 feet or 40 x 25ft DMX
cables.
DMX Cables
Cable must comply with EIA-485 (RS485).
The fixture uses five-pin XLR male and female
connectors to receive DMX signals from the
Dimmer Board and jumper the fixtures in a series.
DMX pin-out wiring follows the USITT DMX512
standard:
Pin 1: Shield
Pin 2: Data –
Pin 3: Data +
Pin 4: Spare –
Pin 5: Spare +
Note: Pin four and five in the Fixture are connected
internally as Pin four to four and Pin five to five.
Connecting Pin four and five as the pass-thru
allows secondary data to be passed through other
equipment.
Note: When operating fixtures at great distances from the dimmer board,
it is recommended to use Opto-Isolators to provide DMX signal amplification.
