DMX512 signal cable
According to DMX512 protocol, DMX signal cable must be screened twist cable with impedance of 120Ω.
The length of cable should not be over 250m. PIN 2 and PIN 3 of the plug cannot be confused, please
distinguish two lines of twist cable by different colors.
Connection of DMX512 signal
The connection between DMX512 signal and other equipment is a “chrysanthemum chain” mode. DMX512
signal is sent from A24 lighting console output to DMX512 input of the first dimmer. Then it is sent from
DMX512 output of the first dimmer to DMX512 input of the second dimmer and goes on like this.
An 120Ωterminal matching resistance must be connected to the last equipment to prevent reflection and
aberration of signal. The operation is as following: connect a 120Ω resistance to foot 2 and foot 3 of a plug
then plug it to the output of the last scanner equipment.
Address distribution of DMX512
A24 lighting console uses 1-24 channels dimmer of DMX512 protocol. If four 6-channel dimmers are
connected, the receiving address setting as follow. The first dimmer is set to “1”, the second one is set to “7”,
the third is set to “13”, and the fourth is set to “19”.
