the instructions provided with the DMX termination kit for specifics on the wire preparation. DMX
termination is made to J8 and J9 on the termination board.

After completing the DMX data connections, you must properly terminate the DMX line using the
termination switch (S2) on the panel termination board. Data termination eliminates reflections at the
end of the DMX data run. Turn on DMX termination by sliding the switch to END in the last panel/
device that is physically connected to the DMX chain; for other devices, the switch should be in the
middle (OFF) position.
