Mega HEX Par DMX Set Up

Power Supply: The ADJ Mega HEX Par contains a automatic voltage switch, which will auto sense

the voltage when it is plugged into the power source. With this switch there is no need to worry about

the correct power voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used as a form of commu-

nication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions

from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture

via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only

have a DATA “OUT” terminal).

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of dierent manufactures to be

linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX

compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use

the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not

influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed

anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is

assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that

unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation): The Mega HEX Par

can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Mega HEX Par has 5 DMX channel

modes. The DMX address is set on the back panel of the Mega HEX Par. Your unit

and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and

data output (Figure 1). We recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are making

your own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable

may be purchased at almost all pro lighting stores). Your cables should be made

with a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember

that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split. Figure 1

Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own cables. Do not use the ground

lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the

shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a

short circuit and erratic behavior.

Special Note: Line Termination.

When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a termina-

tor on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is

connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted

in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable

terminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.

Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmis-

standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily

available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.
