pedance and low capacity.

The termination is prepared by soldering a 120Ω 1/4 W resistor between pins 2 and 3 of the male XLR
connector, as shown in figure:
DMX ADDRESSING
In order to start controlling the product via DMX, the first step is to select a DMX address, also known as the
start channel, this is the first channel used to receive instructions from a DMX controller. If you wish to control
the product individually, it is necessary to assign a different starting address channel to each fixture.
The number of channels occupied from the product depends on the DMX mode selected, so always verify the
DMX Mode before start addressing.
If you assign two fixtures the same address, they will be executing the same behaviour. Selecting the same
address to multiple fixtures can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetrical control.
DMX addressing is limited to make it impossible to set the DMX address so high that you are left without
enough control channels for the product.
Set the fixture's DMX address by RDM with the DATAMASTER.
