Terminate DMX

Use a DMX terminator or install a resistor on the last fixture of the DMX control run to prevent
corruption (data reflection) of the digital control signal by electrical noise.
A DMX terminator is an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3 that
can be installed into the DMX output receptacle of the last fixture in the DMX control run.
Contact your authorized dealer or ETC for ordering information (etcconnect.com/contactETC),
or purchase an XLR DMX terminator from the ETC Online Shop (shop.etcconnect.com).

Set the DMX Start Address

Give each fixture a unique DMX starting address so that the correct fixture responds to the
control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to
"listen" to the digital control information sent out from the control source.
Modify the DMX start address on the user interface, which is located on the upper enclosure.
See
DMX Address on page 17
Example:
starting address of the first fixture to 1, you could set the second fixture to 58 (57+1),
the third to 115 (57+58), and so on.
