When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a termina-
tor on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 90-120
ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected 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 termi-
nate the line. Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibilities of
erratic behavior.

Linking:
The AVIATOR SP-8™ is a DMX intelligent scanner and must follow
standard DMX protocol. A DMX signal cannot be split or "Y-ed" unless
you are using an approved DMX splitter such as the American DJ
Branch 4.
Link your scanners together using standard DMX cable as
™
described on page 5 of this manual. Be sure that each fixture follows
an "IN"/"OUT" pattern starting from you DMX controller. Your control-
ler will always be the first output in a DMX chain. Link all your DMX
devices together regardless of their brand or type.
Figure 5 on page 7 details the proper linking procedure.
