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

Caution:
Always replace with the exact same type lamp and fuse,
unless otherwise specified by an authorized American DJ
cian. Replace with anything other than the specified part can damage
your unit and will void your manufactures warranty.
Warning:
If, after replacing the lamp or fuse either one continues
to blow, STOP using the unit. Contact customer support for further
instructions, you may have to return the unit for servicing. Continuing
to use the unit may cause serious damage.
Fuse Replacement:
Disconnect the unitʼs main power supply. Insert
a standard flat head screw driver in to the fuse holder housing. Turn
the screwdriver in counter-clockwise direction to remove the fuse
holder. Remove the fuse holder to expose the fuse. Remove the old
fuse and discard it. Replace the fuse with the same type. Insert the
fuse holder back into itʼs housing and turn it in clockwise direction to
lock the holder in place.
Lamp Replacement:
Caution! Never attempt to change the lamp
while the fixture is plugged in. Always disconnect the main power
and allow the unit ample time to cool before attempting to replace the
lamp. Lamp replacement has been made simple by incorporating the
use of a flip-up front cover that is retained by thumb screws.
1. Be sure to follow the proper handling procedures that deal with
halogen lamps.
2. Remove the two thumb screws on the front of the unit.
3. After removing the thumb screws, pull off socket assembly protec-
tive cover.
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.
Halogen Lamp Warning:
with halogen lamps which are highly susceptible
to damage if improperly handled. Never touch the
lamps with your bare fingers as the oil from your
hands will shorten lamp life. Also, never move the
fixture until the lamps have had ample time to cool.
Remember, lamps are not covered under warranty
conditions.
