Once you have the materials and equipment organized in a comfortable and visible place, three main activities must be carried out. The first would be to test all the products before carrying out any installation, so we make sure that everything works correctly and that we have clearly understood what all the connections should be like. It can be done in a clean and comfortable place to work, with the purpose of visualizing all the details necessary to carry out the installation. Then we proceed to install the wiring and the corresponding boxes. And finally, the connections are made, always leaving the power supply connection last for safety reasons.

  4. Connect both the signal and power cables, that is, the signal cables (yellow, red, white and green) must be connected to the DMX1 or DMX2 terminals, as shown in the following image.
  5. The power cables (brown and blue respectively) are connected to the 24Vdc power supply. The input of the controller must be connected to the power supply (the “7-32V” terminal on the positive and the “GND” terminal on the negative).
  6. Finally, the memory card is inserted into the DMX512 controller slot and the power supply is connected to the mains.
A small test of all devices should be done before installing. It is also recommended to estimate the wiring that needs to be done, taking into account that six cables are needed from the controller to the bricks.
