behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-
nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and
DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last
unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator
(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.
Termination reduces signal errors and
avoids signal transmission problems

The unit should be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided),
affixing it to the mounting bracket that is provided with the unit.

Always ensure that the unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slip-
ping while operating. Always ensure that the structure to which you
are attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a weight of 10
times the unit's weight. Also, always use a safety cable that can hold
12 times the weight of the unit when installing the fixture.
The equipment must be installed by a professional, and it must be
installed in a place where it is out of the reach of people's grasp.
