Wiring diagram

1. Connecting LED lights:
2. DMX console connection:
   D16 is equipped with 3 kinds of DMX terminals for users’ selection. The following diagram takes 3-pin XLR as an example, same connecting method for the rest two: RJ45 & green terminal (with amplifier function).If the recoil effect occurs because of longer signal line or bad line quality, please try to connect 0.25W 90-120Ω terminal resistor at the end of each line.
3. The connection diagram of 3 kinds of DMX/RDM terminals:Installation attention: please reserve enough ventilation distance between decoders (>20mm), be sure not to block the vent, or it will affect the lifetime of the decoder for poor heat dissipation.
4. The connection diagram of AMP signal amplifier terminal:
   Connecting with green terminal or an extra amplifier will be needed when more than 32 decoders are connected or use overlong signal wire (as shown below). Signal amplifier should not be more than 5 times continuously.
