DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically
noisy environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator.
This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The
DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 resistor connected between pins 2 and
3,which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please
see illustrations below.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder
a 120 resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the
DMX-output of the last fixture.
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
