3.3 DMX wiring
Use a shielded twisted-pair cable with two pairs to connect the serial link. Connect all pins
if you want to upgrade the software in crossload. If a microphone cable (or any other cable
with only one pair) is used the software can not be updated via DMX line because pin 4
and 5 are not connected.
Pin assignment
Pin 1 = shield
Pin 2 = data -
Pin 3 = data +
Pin 4 = data out -
Pin 5 = data out +
The A8 has 3pin and 5pin XLR connectors for DMX-in and DMX-out.
Do not connect more than one data input and one data output on a fixture.
Connect the DMX-out of the control desk to the first A8 in line. (lighting control desk DMX
-Out / A8 DMX-In). Connect the second A8 to the first in line, and so on (A8 2 DMX-In
/ A8 1 DMX-Out). All 3-pin and 5-pin connectors are wired parallel. Do not use this fixture
as a DMX splitter!
The DMX-Out of the last unit in line is not occupied unless problems occur. Then use a
termination plug with the last A8 in line.(XLR-connector with a 120 Ohm resistor soldered
between pin 2 and pin 3). Problems might occur when the line is overloaded, e.g.
3.4 Installing a plug on the power cord
Install a plug like described in chapter 3.1.
Connected load: Voltage 100-240 Volts, frequence 50 - 60 Hz, power max. 500 VA
Connect the fixture to a proper installed grounded system only. If any doubts on the
electrical installations occur, consult a qualified electrician. In case of damages occuring
due to a not proper installed electrical system, warranty claims will be invalidated. Don´t
use fixtures when top cover is not fixed properly. Contact with electronic parts can result
in risk for life.
Connect fixture only after assuring that the electrical installation fits your demands. If any
doubts occur consult a qualified technician!

Power can be relayed to another device via the grey PowerCon throughput socket that
accepts a grey PowerCon NAC3FCB cable connector. Note that blue input and grey
