While DMX 512 is the standard used to control lighting, at this time, there
are some differences you should know about. One is pin configuration. The
DATA + And DATA- are reversed. This can be corrected by using the reversal
switch on the DMX Programmer. If you have some fixtures from each polarity
use adapter Z-DMXADAPT between the fixtures.
