With this switch there is no need to worry aboutthe correct power voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-tocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixturesand controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions fromthe controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that trav-els from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR ter-minals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA“OUT” terminal).DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models ofdifferent manufactures to be linked together and operate from a singlecontroller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compli-ant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using severalDMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The orderin which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence theDMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1may 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 addressof 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation):The 5P Hex/5P Hex Pearl can be controlled via DMX protocol. The 5PHex/5P Hex Pearl has 4 DMX channel modes, please see pages 7-8 forthe different modes. Your unit and your DMX controller require a stan-dard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and dataoutput (Figure 1). We recommend Accu-CableDMX cables. If you are making your own cables,be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shieldedcable (This cable may be purchased at almost allpro lighting stores). Your cables should be madewith a male and female XLR connector on eitherend of the cable. Also remember that DMX cablemust be daisy chained and cannot be split.Notice: Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your owncables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector.
