used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic POWER
behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-
nected 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.
Termination reduces signal errors and

halogen lamps.
2. Remove the thumb screw on the rear of the unit that holds the
lamp socket assembly cover in place.
3. After removing the thumb screw, slide out the cove from the rear
of the unit to expose the lamp socket assembly.
4. Carefully remove the old lamp and discard it in the trash.
5. Replace the lamp with an exact match and reassemble in reverse
order.

This unit is equipped with a built-in safety breaker. This breaker is
designed to close the power circuit in the event of an internal short
or power surge. This will reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire and
protect the circuitry. To reset the breaker, push the breaker button in
until you hear it "pop" back in to place. If the breaker continues to
pop, stop using the unit and contact our customer support team, the
unit may need to be returned for service.
