Standard microphone cablecannot transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For best results, use cablespecifically designed for RS-485 applications. Your Martin dealer can supply highquality cable in various lengths.The FiberSource QFX 150’s data sockets are wired pin 1 to ground, pin 2 to signal -(cold), and pin 3 to signal + (hot). This is the standard pin assignment for DMXdevices.One or more adaptor cables may be required to connect the fixture to the controllerand other devices because many devices have 5-pin connectors and others may havereversed signal polarity, that is, pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold.5-pin to 3-pinAdaptorMale12345Female123P/N 118200053-pin to 5-pinAdaptorMale123Female12345P/N 118200043-pin to 3-pinPhase-ReversingAdaptorMale123Female123P/N 11820006To connect the data link1 Connect a data cable to the controller’s data output. If controller has a 5-pinwww.sxsevents.co.ukoutput, use a 5-pin male to 3-pin female adaptor cable (P/N 11820005).2 Lead the data cable from the controller to the first fixture and plug the cableinto the data input.12 Controller operation

Up to 232 devices may be connected on a serial link.1203and Audio-Visual Servicesmail: enquiries@sxsevents.co.uk5 Terminate the link by inserting a male terminationplug (P/N 91613017) into the data output of the lastfixture. A termination plug is simply an XLRconnector with a 120 ohm, 0.25 W resistor solderedacross pins 2 and 3.P/N 91613017Important!To set the addressADDRESS SELECTIONA control address must be set using the DIP-switch on the rear panel. The controladdress, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receiveinstructions from the controller. The FiberSource QFX 150 uses 5 DMX channels.Each fixture must be assigned its own address and non-overlapping controlchannels for individual control. Two FiberSource QFX 150s may share the sameaddress, but they will respond identically and individual control will not bepossible.Disconnect the fixture from power before changing the DIPswitchsetting. Changes take effect after the fixture has beenturned off and back on.1 Select an address for the fixture between 1 and 508 on your controller.2 Look up the DIP-switch setting for the address on page 14.3 Disconnect the fixture from power.4 Set pins 1 through 9 to the ON (1) or OFF (0) position as listed in the table.5 Set pin 10 to the OFF position.www.sxsevents.co.ukController operation 13
