ℹ PATCH LOCKED 7/10 - one DMX line, plain channels. R1 = Rack 1 (CSR) ch 1 · R2 = Rack 2 (CSL) ch 126 · PA = Pelican A (SR) ch 251 · PB = Pelican B (SL) ch 276. Gaps: CS 5th channels, 56-125, 186-250, 275.

SIGNAL CHAIN

Venue power → KG3 24V DMX control (CS: Rack 1 + Rack 2 · SL: Pelican B · SR: Pelican A)
Device output → NL8 home run (10' / 20', 6-pin) → riser panel plate
Panel plate → ~3' NL8 daisy chain → next segment plate (within zone)
Plate → tape ribbon (wire by COLOR - see wiring table)
Console → 5-pin DMX → one line through all four devices

ℹ Red square on riser maps = SGPS DMX-power feed point. Segments daisy-chain within each zone off that feed.

INSTALL SEQUENCE

Mount NL8 panel plates at segment boxes (#8 x 3/4" screws)
Pull home runs rack → each zone feed (red square on map); label BOTH ends with zone ID + rack/output (e.g. R1-O13)
Run ~3' daisy chains between segment plates within each zone
Terminate BY COLOR per the ribbon wiring table
Meter every plate: no V+ shorts to channels before power-on
Power one rack at a time; test each zone R → G → B → W per DMX profile
Dress + p-clip cable, gaff at crossings, photo each riser when done

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom	Likely cause	Fix
Blue/white swapped on a segment	Blue/white crossed at the solder joint	Re-terminate: blue → 2-, white → 3+
Whole zone dead	Home run V+ (pin 1) or rack output	Meter pin 1 at plate; check rack fuse/output
One color out, whole zone	That channel pin at feed plate	Meter pins 2-5 at feed; reseat NL8
Zone dies mid-run	Daisy chain at last working segment	Reseat/swap that ~3' jumper
Flicker under vibration	Loose NL8 twist lock	Full quarter-turn lock; swap connector if worn
Dim far end of long zone	Voltage drop	Expected within spec; report if severe
