SETUP

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. The VIZI BEAM 5RX uses 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA
transmission in place of a 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When
inserting standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adapter must be used, these adapters are
readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.
