DMX SET UP

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

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 different manufactures to be linked

together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures 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 MOD QA60 can be controlled via DMX-

512 protocol. The MOD QA60 has 5 DMX channel modes. The DMX address is set on the

rear panel of the MOD QA60. 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.

Notice: Be sure to follow figures 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.

Pin1 = Ground

Pin2 = Data Compliment (negative)

Pin3 = Data True (positive)

Figure 3

Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator 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.

Termination reduces signal errors and avoids

signal transmission problems and interference.

It is always advisable to connect a DMX

terminal, (Resistance120 Ohm 1/4 W) between

PIN 2 (DMX-) and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last

fixture.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in

place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting 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.

DMX ADDRESSING

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fixture

responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the

fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control signal sent out from the DMX controller. The assignment of this

starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital control display on the

fixture.

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for each

individual fixture. Setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will cause all fixtures to react in the same way,

in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures

simultaneously.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you

have set, based on the quantity of DMX channels of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one

channel will only affect the selected fixture.

In the case of the MOD QA60, when in 10 Channel you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to

1, the second unit to 11 (10 + 1), the third unit to 21 (11 + 10), and so on. (See chart below for more details.)
