Following the cord cap manufacturer's instructions, connect the yellow and green wire to ground (earth), the brown wire to live, and the blue wire to neutral. The table below details some pin identification schemes. Wire Brown Blue Yellow or green 2.4 Understanding DMX A. About DMX DMX is the abbreviation of Digital Multiplex. Its a universal protocol used by most audio, lighting and controller manufactures as a communication mean between fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends out DMX instructions that travel through the DMX chain as a serial data to the fixtures via XLR cables. DMX is a kind of "common language" allowing all modules of different fixtures to be linked together and operated by a single controller as long as all modules and the controller are DMX compatible. B. DMX Cable Requirements: Your fixture, 151.263 / 151.266 uses 3-pin XLR cable as its connection media.. C. Connection of DMX Connect the provided DMX XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the fixture (please refer to the figure below). You must chain multiple fixtures together through serial linking, never split your DMX connections unless you are using our splitter/signal amplifier such as SRL-144.

PART II Installation D. 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 DMX control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by combining various dipswitches. Please refer to related sections for further information. 2.5 Operation Instructions The fixture employs two groups of dipswitches to access its functions. Normally the dipswitches from 1st to 9th are used for encoding DMX address, the 10th dipswitch for alternates among different modes.
Dipswitch 1 address equals to 1 Dipswitch 2 address equals to 2 Dipswitch 3 address equals to 4 Dipswitch 4 address equals to 8 Dipswitch 5 address equals to 16 Dipswitch 6 address equals to 32 Dipswitch 7 address equals to 64 Dipswitch 8 address equals to 128 Dipswitch 9 address equals to 256 Dipswitch 10 is reserved for selecting DMX or Master/Slave mode.
