Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator
on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 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 terminate the line. Using a cable
terminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors: Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX- 512 data cables for DATA
transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be integrated into a 3-pin DMX line with a
5-pin to 3-pin adapter cable. Although these adapters are available at most electric stores, one can be
assembled using the conversion chart.
