Zylight F8 Fresnel - Manual (Page 13)

DMX Control
Operating the F8 LED Fresnel from a DMX controller gives users the option to
create unique lighting looks. The F8 has a single 5-pin DMX Breakout Jack on
the rear of the light to link DMX connections between lights when used in a
DMX chain. The use of a DMX Interface Box (P/N 26-02019) is necessary to
integrate the F8 into DMX chain installations by providing connections for
looping through both DMX IN and DMX OUT data.
The F8 DMX Interface Box plugs directly into the 5-pin DMX Breakout jack
built in to the rear of the F8. If the F8 will be the last light in your DMX chain,
you may plug a 5-pin XLR DMX cable directly into the 5-pin DMX Breakout
Jack. The F8 is a self- terminated device and the use of a DMX terminator or
Zylight DMX interface box will not be necessary when the F8 is the last light in
your DMX chain, or if you are running separate lines to each of your fixtures.
When connecting from fixture to fixture, use of the DMX Interface Box is
necessary for correct DMX connections. Not following these steps for DMX
connection can result in erratic behavior. The DMX Interface Box mounts to
the bottom of either side of the F8 yoke. (see image below)
