UNDERSTANDING DMX  
DMX-512  
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by most lighting and  
controller manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and  
controllers. DMX allows all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked  
together and operate from a single controller. This is possible as long as all the fixtures and  
the controller are DMX compliant. A DMX controller sends the DMX data instructions to the  
fixture allowing the user to control the different aspects of an intelligent light. DMX data is  
sent out as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via data “IN” and data “OUT” XLR  
terminals located on the fixtures (most controllers will only have output jacks).  
DMX LINKING  
To ensure proper DMX data transmission, always use proper DMX cables and a terminator.  
When using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. Never split a  
DMX line with a “Y” style connector. The order in which the fixtures are connected in a DMX  
line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a starting DMX  
address of 1 may be placed anywhere in the DMX chain, at the beginning, at the end, or  
anywhere in the middle. The DMX controller knows to send data assigned to address 1 to  
that fixture no matter where it is located in the DMX chain. The DMX address is set  
electronically using the controls on the LCD menu.  
DATA CABLE (DMX Cable) REQUIREMENTS (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation)  
Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for  
data input and data output (see figure below). If you are making your own cables, be sure to  
use two conductor, shielded digital DMX cable rated at 120 ohms; this cable is designed for  
DMX transmission and may be purchased from your Elation dealer or at most professional  
lighting retailers. Your cables should be made with a male and female XLR connector on  
either end of the cable. Also, remember that a DMX line must be daisy chained and cannot  
be split, unless using an approved DMX splitter such as the Elation Opto Branch 4™ or DMX  
Branch/4™.

w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m  
Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not use  
the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield  
conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact  
with the XLR outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit  
and erratic behavior.  
DMX-512 CONTROLLER CONNECTION  
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female XLR output of your controller and the other  
side to the male XLR input of the LEVEL Q7™ (Please refer to the diagram below.). You can  
chain multiple panels together through serial linking. The cable that should be used is two  
conductor, shielded DMX cable with XLR input and output connectors. Always be sure daisy  
chain your in and out data connections, never split or “Y” your DMX connections unless you  
are using an approved DMX splitter such as the Elation Opto Branch 4™ or DMX  
Branch/4™.  
Address 1  
Address 10  
Address 19  
DMX-512 CONNECTION WITH DMX TERMINATOR  
A DMX terminator should be used in all DMX lines especially in longer runs. The use of a  
terminator may avoid erratic behavior in your DMX line. A terminator is a 120 ohm 1/4 watt  
resistor that is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and  
DATA -). This fixture is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last fixture in your daisy  
chain to terminate the line. Using a line terminator (Elation part: DMX T PACK) will decrease  
the possibilities of erratic behavior.

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, these adaptors are  
readily available at most electric stores. The following chart details a proper cable  
conversion.

w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m  
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 digital control information sent  
out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by  
setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the back of the fixture.  
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different  
address for each individual fixture. Be advised that setting all fixtures to the same DMX  
address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words, changing  
the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.  
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the  
channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of  
each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected  
fixture.  
In the case of the LEVEL Q7™, when in 9 channel mode (default can also be set to 4, 5, 7,  
or 9), you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 10 (1 +  
9), the third unit to 19 (10 + 9), the fourth unit to 28 (19 + 9) and so on.  
Note: During start-up the LEVEL Q7™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data signal  
is being received or not. If DMX data signal is being received, the display will show  
"Addr=XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a  
DMX signal the display will flash. If your fixture is connected to a DMX controller and the  
display is flashing (not receiving a DMX signal), please check the following:  
-
The 3-PIN or 5-PIN XLR input plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not  
connected or is not inserted completely into the DMX input jack of the fixture.  
The DMX controller is switched off or defective.  
-
-
-
The DMX cable or connector is defective.  
A DMX terminator has been inserted into the last fixture in your DMX chain.

This fixture features an integrated DMX-recorder by which you can transmit the programmed  
scenes from your DMX-controller to the moving head. Adjust the desired scene numbers via  
the encoder (from – to). When you call up the scenes at your controller, they will  
automatically be transmitted to the moving head.  
EditProg - RecCntrl - Execution  
A Master unit can send up to 3 different data groups to the Slave units, i.e. a Master unit can  
start 3 different Slave units, which run 3 different programs. The Master unit sends the 3  
program parts in a continuous loop.  
The Slave unit receives data from the Master unit according to the group which the Slave  
unit was assigned to. If e.g. a Slave unit is set to “Slave 1” in the menu “Set to Slave”, the  
Master unit sends “Auto Program Part 1” to the Slave unit. If set to “Slave 2”, the Slave unit  
receives “Auto Program Part 2”.
