DMX Termination (Optional)

The last fixture of a DMX chain has to be "terminated". This prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals. To terminate the last fixture sol der a 1/4 Watt, 120 Ohm resistor across the DATA - and DATA + wires. The connections are illustrated below. If you are only connecting a few fixtures which are close together and use a short run to the controller, you may be able to operate without a terminator.
