DMX devices are hooked together in a “Daisy Chain” fashion. This means you take the output from the
DMX control device and run it to the DMX INPUT on the first DMX light fixture. You then take the DMX
output from the first light fixture and run it to the input of the second DMX light fixture. And so ON. You
may have a maximum of 32 fixtures or devices (Not Channels) on an individual DMX512 output. The EX-
100 gives you two independent, outputs, so you can hook a maximum of 32 devices on each output, for
a total of 64 fixtures. This allows a separate output for each side of the stage. A 120 ohm termination
resister MUST be connected to the DMX output on the last fixture on each DMX Output to insure proper
communications. If more fixtures are required, then you can use a DMX splitter.

The DMX Light Fixtures can be programmed, through a DIP switch, or through a program option, to
operate on any desired starting DMX channel. Unlike MIDI, multiple DMX light fixtures can share the
same DMX channel assignment. In this case the lights will respond the same way.
