ARCHI BAR 16 TRI DMX SET UP

DMX-512:

• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between

intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form 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 to 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 Archi Bar 16 Tri can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the

back of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for

data input/output (figure 1).

Figure 1

Further DMX cables can be purchased from all good sound and lighting suppliers or Prolight dealers.

Please quote:

CABL10 – 2M

CABL11 – 5M

CABL12 – 10M

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

ARCHI BAR 16 TRI DMX SET UP

Notice:

• Be sure to follow figures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. 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 behaviour.

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 behaviour.

Termination reduces signal transmission problems and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a

DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.

Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behaviour.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:

• Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-Pin

XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin

XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The chart below details the

correct cable conversion.
